Episode 50 — OT, Air-Gapped Networks, Microservices, and Segmentation
This episode covers operational technology, air-gapped networks, microservices, and segmentation as architecture choices that affect isolation, monitoring, and risk. Operational technology supports physical processes such as manufacturing, utilities, building systems, and industrial control, so availability and safety may be more important than rapid patching. Air-gapped networks are separated from other networks to reduce exposure, although removable media, maintenance access, and misconfiguration can still introduce risk. Microservices divide applications into smaller components, which can improve scalability but require strong identity, communication control, and monitoring. For Security+ scenarios, segmentation helps limit movement, separate sensitive systems, and apply different controls based on environment and risk.
