Many industrial companies are currently evaluating how to separate IT and OT to strengthen cybersecurity, modernize their network architecture, and prepare for future scalability. This full separation of IT and OT networks is to be implemented in the Berlin switchgear factory, as part of an initiative that requires careful architectural planning, strong stakeholder alignment, and significant investment in network segmentation, switching infrastructure, and resilient operational technology.
The talk provides insights into how such a transformation is structured from the ground up: from developing the blueprints, evaluating cost and effort, securing the investments, until adapting concepts to local factory needs. It also highlights the practical challenges of preparing legacy environments, securing industrial machinery, and ensuring 24/7 operational resilience.
