Global OT Security Crisis: Over Half of Organizations Hit by Incidents!
More than half of global organizations have faced an operational technology incident in the past year, with IT compromise leading the charge. Despite budget increases, only 9% dedicate full time to OT security. So, why are we leaving the door open for hackers, or are we too busy playing Minesweeper on the job?
Hot Take:
Oh, the irony! In a world where we can order pizza with a few clicks but can’t seem to protect our power plants from cyber villains. It’s like having the best home security system but forgetting to lock the front door. Let’s hope these organizations figure out the whole “protect your critical infrastructure” thing before the hackers decide to turn the lights out on us permanently.
Key Points:
- Over half of global organizations have faced an OT incident in the past year.
- IT compromises are the most common OT attack vector.
- Only 27% of budget decisions are led by CISOs.
- ICS/OT security often gets only a small slice of the budget pie.
- Critical investment priorities include network architecture and incident response.
