The grid is no longer isolated — every connection adds new exposure.
Separation is no longer the operating model.
WHY THIS “SECURING THE DIGITAL UTILITY: OT/IT CONVERGENCE" CHALLENGE?
Utilities are integrating substations, meters, renewable assets, cloud platforms, and AI applications into one distributed ecosystem.

Better visibility comes with a risk: OT and IT collaboration must stay secure without losing resilience. 

Key benefits
Secure convergence starts where separation ends

 Turn isolated systems into trusted ecosystems: 

Connect OT and IT while preserving the availability and resilience critical infrastructure requires. 

check icon
See every asset before every threat moves

Improve visibility across substations, field devices, renewable assets and distributed operational environments. 

check icon
Segment the grid without slowing the business:

Use Private 5G capabilities such as network slicing, authentication and policy management to support secure operations.

Move from compliance pressure to operational confidence

Make cybersecurity a strategic capability for remote operations, AI, edge and future grid services. 

How NTT DATA helps

01
Secure OT/IT convergence strategy

Operational systems, enterprise platforms, cloud services, and field assets connect without increasing avoidable risk. 

Build global cybersecurity capabilities
02
Zero Trust and OT cybersecurity alignment

Identity, access, monitoring, and response are designed into distributed operational environments from the start, not added at the end.

03
Private 5G-enabled communications modernization

Segmentation, encryption, identity management, edge integration, and centralized policy control strengthen utility communications. 

Cloud and architecture modernization
04
Integrated visibility and monitoring:

Continuous visibility across connected operational assets enables faster detection and better coordination between IT and OT teams.

05
Governance for resilient digital operations

Technology modernization connects with operating models, compliance readiness, and transformation roadmaps that scale with the future grid.
