Why TXOne’s Webinar Wasn’t Just for Cyber Pros: It Was for Business Leaders, Too: Let’s be honest, “cyber security” doesn’t always get boardrooms buzzing with excitement. It’s usually lumped in with “cost centers,” “compliance,” or “necessary evil.” But what if we told you that cybersecurit,y especially OT security, could become one of your biggest growth enablers?
That’s exactly what TXOne Networks set out to prove in their recent webinar, “Secure Business Growth in OT Security.” And they delivered big time.
If you’re in manufacturing, energy, or any sector where operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) are becoming more intertwined, this conversation was tailor-made for you.
OT + IT: A Match Made in… Complexity?
The convergence of OT and IT isn’t just a technical upgrade; it’s a business transformation.
Think about it: you’ve got aging machines on the factory floor talking to cloud platforms, IoT devices gathering data, and AI systems optimizing workflows. It’s exciting, sure. But it also opens the door to new threats you’ve never had to deal with before.
As Richard Allan, Regional Director for Northern Europe at TXOne and the webinar’s moderator, pointed out, this isn’t a future problem. It’s happening right now.
“Security Isn’t Just About Firewalls. It’s About ROI.” – Mats Karlsson Landré, Sectra
One of the most refreshing takeaways? OT security is no longer just about keeping the bad guys out.
Mats Karlsson Landré, an OT security advisor from Sectra Critical Infrastructure, nailed it when he said:
“We’re seeing a mindset shift, security is tied to ROI, uptime, and even brand value. If your cybersecurity isn’t giving you business results, it’s underperforming.”
It’s true. Companies used to bolt on security tools after building systems. Today, the smart ones build security from the ground up because they know resilience equals revenue.
Resilience > Defense: Kenneth Titlestad’s Take
Ever installed a security system that made your life harder instead of easier? You’re not alone.
Kenneth Titlestad, a member of the NEK IEC Digital Factory Working Group, raised an important point:
“Cybersecurity isn’t about making walls taller. It’s about making systems flexible, fast to recover, and always moving forward.”
In other words: Don’t just guard the gates. Prepare to bounce back. That’s where TXOne’s tools shine. They’re not just reactive. Their AI learns patterns, predicts vulnerabilities, and protects your environment, without slowing you down.
“We Needed Tools That Just Work.” – Sam Taylor, vCISO at Enfinium
If you’ve ever juggled security platforms that require constant babysitting, you’ll love Sam Taylor’s story.
As a virtual CISO for Enfinium, Sam had a challenge: how to secure critical infrastructure without breaking workflows. His teams didn’t have time to deal with false alarms, endless alerts, or manual patches.
His verdict on TXOne?
“It runs quietly in the background. No drama. No bottlenecks. It scales with us and protects what matters.”Sounds too good to be true? It’s not. Enfinium is already seeing results: fewer disruptions, stronger compliance, and peace of mind without extra headcount.
Let’s Talk Strategy: Turning Security into Growth
The big shift this webinar highlighted? Cybersecurity isn’t just about defense anymore. It’s about acceleration.
TXOne shared three smart ways to align security with business outcomes:
1. Get More Out of What You Already Own

If security still feels like a hurdle to growth, maybe it’s time to rethink the equation. The convergence of OT and IT is creating new pathways for innovation, but only if your foundation is secure.
TXOne isn’t just offering another tool. They’re offering a path forward where protection, performance, and profit all align.
FAQs
1. What’s the difference between OT and IT security?
OT security protects physical systems (like machines and control panels). IT security focuses on digital systems like servers and databases. OT security has stricter uptime and safety requirements.
2. Why should I care about OT security if I already have firewalls and antivirus?
Firewalls don’t always reach industrial control systems. And OT threats behave differently; they can be silent, slow, and devastating.
3. Can TXOne’s tools work with my legacy infrastructure?
Yes. TXOne is built for the real world, older systems, air-gapped environments, and machines never designed for the internet.
4. How does AI help with OT security?
It learns how your systems behave, flags anything unusual, and responds faster than any human ever could. It’s like having a cybersecurity assistant that never sleeps.
5. Is this only for big enterprises?
Not at all. Whether you run one facility or twenty, these solutions scale to your needs, without bloating your budget.
So the real question is: Are you ready to let your security strategy fuel your business strategy?
