Focus Area IT/OT Integration
The main initiative within the Focus Area of IT/OT Integration is NESIOT.
Norwegian Ecosystem for Secure IT-OT Integration (NESIOT) brings together multiple stakeholders such as sensor/devices manufacturers, telecom operators, cloud and data analysis solution providers, industrial system operators etc., and to exploit enabling technologies and the secure application of those technologies.
Information technology (IT)-Operational Technology (OT) Integration is one of these focus areas that aims at facilitating different stakeholders to cooperate to ensure end-to-end security for integrating IT-OT in real-time. IT-OT Integration allows maximization, optimization, and customization of relevant tasks, and provides a wide range of functional services for better critical sectors, economy, and society. The modern technological advancements such as AI, IIoT, 5G, Digital Twins, Augmented Reality, Cognitive/Cloud/Edge computing boost the IT-OT integration.

- Strengthening collaboration between NORCICS partners and beyond through secure IT&OT Integration
- Achieving secure digitalization of industry through IT-OT integration
- Closing the IT-OT cybersecurity vulnerability gap
- Increasing unified visibility of secure IT-OT integration
