Why does this matter operationally?
Resilience
The capacity of a connectivity system to maintain acceptable service levels when components fail, links degrade, or conditions change unexpectedly. Resilient architectures use redundancy, failover paths, and graceful degradation to keep operations running when ideal conditions cannot be guaranteed.

OT
OT is operational technology, the hardware and software used to monitor or control physical processes, equipment, and infrastructure.
Concept/Framework
OT Network Architecture
The overall structural design of an operational technology network — its organization into functional zones, the conduits connecting them, and the segmentation separating them — typically based on the layered…

OT Security
The discipline of protecting operational technology systems — industrial control systems, SCADA platforms, and the physical process equipment they control — from cyber threats, addressing the distinct availability, safety, and…
Concept/Framework
Out Of Band Management
Out Of Band Management is administrative access to a system through a separate management path that is independent of the primary production traffic path. It preserves control when the main…
