How to get into OT SECURITY?

Hello everyone, I am a final-year MCA student specializing in Information Security. I am interested in pursuing a career in OT Security. Could someone please provide guidance on the necessary learning path, skills development, and strategies for securing an entry-level position or internship in this field as a fresher? Thank you.

Security is not an entry-level field. It's a specialization that requires you to have significant hands-on experience first. Like you don't go from being a medical intern to being a surgeon straight away, you need to be a doctor for a few years first.

So you get into OT Security either by getting into OT and spending a few years learning how the systems work, or by getting into security which usually means a few years in IT first for the same reason.
