IT
Information Technology
IT processes, stores, and communicates information; OT focuses on monitoring and controlling physical devices and processes.
In context
The same operating systems or network technologies can serve different roles. Both environments need security.
Example
A payroll server and a pump-control computer are both computers, but errors have different direct consequences.
Key distinction
Distinguish roles by what a device processes and affects rather than its appearance.
