While they make great sense from a cyber security perspective, the reality is that they are inherently at odds with the need for business-critical connectivity. This is why most businesses have turned to the cloud for the connectivity it provides.

The primary limitation is cultural, and a change is needed within industrial organisations to embrace the cloud, the benefits it provides and understand why clouds are not inherently insecure.
