The Air Gap is Dead – It’s Time for Industrial Organisations to Embrace the Cloud

The greatest misconception these days is that critical infrastructure organisations still have an air gap. 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. However, industrial organisations are the last bastion of on-premises computing even though there are no technical or cyber security reasons why the cloud cannot be used to transform operations. 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.
