OT (operational technology) is the systems that control physical processes, such as production lines, pumps or substations, and SCADA is the software that monitors and controls them remotely. Securing them is different from IT because a failure does not just expose data: it can stop a plant or put people at risk.

IP address
An IP address is the number that identifies every device connected to a network, such as a laptop, a server or a phone, so data reaches the right place. It can be public, the one the internet sees, or private, the one used inside your company network, and it comes in two versions: IPv4 and IPv6.
WAF (web application firewall)
A WAF (web application firewall) is a protection that inspects the traffic reaching a website or web application and blocks attacks aimed at it, such as SQL injection, XSS or malicious bots. Unlike a network firewall, it understands the content of each web request, not just where it comes from.
Data center
A data center is a facility designed to house servers, storage and network equipment with backup power, cooling, redundant connectivity and physical security. It can be company-owned, rented space in a shared facility (colocation) or run by a cloud provider such as Azure or AWS.
Network security
Network security is the set of controls that protect a company's communications infrastructure and the traffic that flows through it, so only authorized users and devices reach each resource. It includes firewalls, segmentation, VPN or ZTNA, network access control, Wi-Fi protection and traffic monitoring.
Microsoft Intune
Microsoft Intune is Microsoft's cloud service for managing and protecting a company's computers, phones and tablets from a single console. It lets you install apps, apply security settings, require encryption and remotely wipe a lost device, and it is included in plans such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium.
