The three main challenges for connecting OT data to IT are:

• Availability: providing data to any user who needs it, when it is needed, in a form they can use.
• Security: restricting availability to only authorized users. 
• Reliability: preserving the data, and making it available, even in the event of a hardware, software, or network failure.

Each challenge impacts the others. 

For example, the more secure the data is, the less available it becomes, and vice-versa. 

Best practices address these challenges head on, ensuring secure remote access to OT data.

This video illustrates some best practices for secure and reliable access to process data.
