Fortinet News, Tuesday, July 30th, 2024
Today, threat actors are increasingly targeting operational technology (OT) infrastructure. According to the Fortinet 2024 State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report, OT organizations struggle to keep up as cyberattacks on OT systems surge by 73%.
But the news isn't all bad. Even though OT professionals report more intrusions and worse outcomes, security is evolving in many organizations. Everything from leadership structure to technologies that protect OT systems are moving forward. Yet even as many organizations improve security, they still face challenges securing converged IT/OT environments.
It's critical for CISOs and other OT leaders to know what is happening in cybersecurity now and what the trends have been over the last few years. This information can help you assess your current cybersecurity maturity by comparing and contrasting your priorities and security strategies with those of your peers.
