Siemens provides insight into how to prioritize and segment sensitive data in operational technology (OT) systems, and how to place it between the edge and the cloud. This is done through an email interview with Marc Fischer, the company’s global marketing manager for the industrial edge, and Yiyao Fu, presented as an ‘industrial 5G expert’. The answers provided by the interviewees suggest that a hybrid approach of edge and cloud computing is the best way to achieve desired outcomes for critical IoT/OT workloads.
