and uniformity between security protocols on the IT
and OT networks, making for more robust and less
vulnerable systems.
Analog Devices supports the convergence of IT and
OT in the digital factory by
• Being a driver of the standardization effort for the
convergence of IT and OT.
• Maintaining a strong customer base, customer
relationships, and incredible in-house domain
knowledge.
• Developing early prototypes of TSN switching
products that are fully compliant with the standard.
When you start talking about ubiquitous
access to data, you start talking about
a very large attack surface from a security
standpoint. This is one place where having
a common approach to the network makes
the problem easier in the sense that you
can use common security mechanisms
throughout the network."
