Key Findings From The Fortinet 2025 Operational Technology Security Report
Fortinet, July 9,2025
The IT/OT air gap is largely gone. Once isolated OT systems are now deeply interconnected with enterprise IT environments.
And as these industrial systems continue to modernize, they have become increasingly vulnerable to threat actors. That reality has put OT cybersecurity squarely on the radar of executives, regulators, and adversaries alike.
Fortinet's 2025 State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report provides a detailed examination of how organizations are addressing the increasing risks faced by today's OT networks. Based on a global survey of more than 550 OT professionals across manufacturing, energy, transportation, and other critical sectors, the report captures the current state of OT security, including the progress made, the pressure OT teams still face, and the priorities shaping the future of OT environments. This seventh installment of the report includes four years of trending data to identify emerging trends in OT cybersecurity.
