What is the Cross-Functional Operational Technology course about?
In complex organizations, operational technology spans facilities, engineering, IT, and security, each using different tools and definitions. Without a unified detection strategy, teams miss critical assets, waste resources, and expose the enterprise to avoidable risk.
