How does AI assist in the segmentation of OT networks for improved security?

AI can assist in segmenting OT networks to reduce vulnerabilities and limit the spread of attacks by actively monitoring network traffic patterns, identifying anomalous behavior, and automatically implementing segmentation protocols based on real-time threat detection. Through machine learning algorithms, AI can analyze network data to identify potential threats and help impose strict access controls between different segments of the network, preventing attackers from moving laterally within the infrastructure. Additionally, AI can enhance incident response capabilities by swiftly detecting and isolating compromised segments, thereby minimizing the impact of a cyberattack on OT systems.
