The 'clarity problem' framing is something I find myself using in almost every conversation. Visibility without context is just noise. Worth a read.
Most security teams think they have a visibility problem. What they actually have is a clarity problem. The tools exist. The data exists. What's missing is a clear picture of what's normal in your environment. So you can recognize when something isn't. This is especially true where IT, IoT and OT converge. Each layer speaks a different language. Each has a different risk tolerance. And the overlap between them is exactly where blind spots form. A few principles that cut through the noise: → Visibility is not a product. It's a discipline. You can buy a sensor and still not understand what you're looking at. → Passive monitoring matters in OT because active scanning can cause device crashes or unexpected behaviour. Watching is safer than probing. → The goal isn't fewer alerts. It's alerts your team will actually act on — ranked by operational impact, not just severity score. → Cloud-first doesn't mean secure. It means more control is possible — if you have the visibility to use it. Our CEO Max Borovkov shared his thinking on this in a recent interview with IoT Tech News — covering how IT, IoT and OT environments are converging, and what "turning visibility into action" actually looks like in practice. https://lnkd.in/e2jvnUW9
