THE AUTONOMOUS OT ERA

The Autonomous OT Era: Securing AI-Driven Industrial Control Systems explores thetransformative impact of artificial intelligence on modern industrial operations and thecritical security challenges that accompany this evolution. As Operational Technology (OT)environments become increasingly autonomous, integrating AI with Industrial ControlSystems (ICS), SCADA platforms, PLCs, and edge computing, organizations faceunprecedented opportunities and risks. This book provides a comprehensive guide tounderstanding the architecture, deployment, and protection of AI-driven industrial systems. Itexamines emerging cyber threats, adversarial attacks, supply chain vulnerabilities, and theunique security requirements of autonomous OT ecosystems. Readers will gain insights intoZero Trust architectures, AI-powered threat detection, digital twins, predictive security, andregulatory compliance frameworks. Designed for researchers, cybersecurity professionals,engineers, and industry leaders, this book presents practical strategies and a future-focusedroadmap for building resilient, secure, and intelligent industrial infrastructures in the era ofautonomous operations and Industry 4.0.
