Analyzing the Latest Trends and Risks in Cybersecurity for
OT Systems
31% of organizations reported experiencing six or more OT-specific intrusions over the last year, a dramatic increase from only 11% in 2023. Beyond the sharp rise in intrusions, the subsequent impacts of an OT attack are also getting worse for organizations. This may include degradation of brand awareness, loss of business-critical data, or diminished productivity.
In recent years, businesses have gained transformative new capabilities by introducing the latest digital technologies to their OT environments. But increasing network connectivity also brings greater complexity to OT security.
The 2024 State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report shows that OT security postures at many organizations are starting to mature. But there’s still more work to be done to keep pace with the volume and sophistication of cyberattacks that specifically target OT systems.
This webinar will take a detailed dive into the findings of this year’s report, including:
- Analysis of the spike in OT intrusions as well as the worsened outcomes seen post-attack
- Why responsibility for OT security being elevated to executive leadership levels ranks is a significant trend
- The key areas where OT security postures are showing signs of maturity, as well as the areas that still need more attention
- Discussing this year’s five best practices and tips for improving the protection of OT systems
