When does OT remote access become infrastructure?

Remote access started as a way to save time and avoid unnecessary travel. But as industrial operations become more connected, distributed and dependent on remote expertise, its role is changing. In this episode of Talk OT to Me, Jesper and Jeff explore when OT remote access stops being just another tool and becomes part of the infrastructure an operation depends on. They discuss what happens when access goes down, how dependency and downtime change the equation, when redundancy starts to matter, and why the conversation should begin with operational needs — not just cybersecurity. Because the real question isn’t simply whether remote access is secure. It’s: what happens to your operation when it’s no longer there?

They discuss what happens when access goes down, how dependency and downtime change the equation, when redundancy starts to matter, and why the conversation should begin with operational needs — not just cybersecurity.

Because the real question isn’t simply whether remote access is secure. It’s: what happens to your operation when it’s no longer there?
