Security requires breaking silos between technical and physical operations teams

Carvalho argues that device security cannot be solved through technical controls alone, but must be treated as a socio-technical issue requiring collaboration across historically siloed departments. The acceleration of IT-OT convergence has created interconnected risks that demand organizational restructuring, not incremental security tool additions.
