Evo Nordics #703 - Bridging the Gap Between IT & OT

In this episode, host Chris Hackett is joined by a panel of industry experts to explore the evolving relationship between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT)—and why aligning the two has become a critical priority for modern organisations.

The conversation brings together Michael Duvfa, CISO for the Baltic and Nordics at Siemens, Angelique Dawnbringer, Security Manager at Accigo, Franco Marconcini, Group CISO at Electrolux AB, and Amalie Lønning, Cyber Security Portfolio Manager at Siemens.

The panel discusses the cultural, technical and organisational barriers that often exist between IT and OT teams, and how these silos can impact visibility, decision-making and operational efficiency. Drawing on real-world experience, the guests share perspectives on collaboration, ownership, and building shared understanding across traditionally separate domains.

Key themes include aligning priorities between corporate IT and industrial environments, managing differing risk tolerances, and enabling more integrated ways of working as digital transformation continues to blur the lines between IT and OT. The episode offers practical insight into how organisations can move towards stronger alignment, improved communication and more joined-up technology strategies.
