IT / OT boundary overlap
How clearly OT and IT boundaries are distinguished.
Key Takeaways
- IT and OT boundaries remain heavily interconnected across organizations, with frequent overlap emerging as the dominant operational model (29%).
- The findings suggest that many organizations are operating within increasingly converged IT/OT environments, where responsibilities, systems, and operational processes are closely intertwined.
- Limited or no overlap between IT and OT environments appears relatively uncommon, indicating that strict separation models are becoming less representative of modern operational structures.
- While IT/OT convergence can improve collaboration and operational visibility, the results also highlight the growing importance of governance clarity, segmentation strategies, and security controls to manage overlapping operational domains effectively.
