Over the past year, digital transformation efforts have shifted the types of threats facing industrial organizations. Operational and mission-critical environments are now heavily targeted, increasing the need for better asset visibility. Gartner says, "As digital transformation efforts increasingly target operational and mission-critical environments, OT security is evolving into cyber-physical systems security, with security disciplines converging."
Gartner continues, "Security and risk management leaders are unable to prepare for every eventuality and, therefore, must make intelligent, business-driven decisions about which security operations technologies they choose to manage the risks to their organization."
In this report, you will learn:
- What operational technology (OT) security is
- The security risks that come with the convergence of OT and IT systems
- The business impact of operation disruption from OT ransomware attacks
- Drivers and obstacles of securing OT systems
- Recommendations when implementing OT security
