OT cybersecurity puts $329 billion at risk
A staggering total of $329 billion is at risk globally because of poor cybersecurity applied to operational technology (OT) systems, which control facilities such as manufacturing and energy storage, according to cybersecurity company, Dragos. The days are long gone when OT systems from online hackers were protected by the airgap, effectively a digital moat where all data was transferred manually. Today OT systems are linked to online IT systems to facilitate communication and increase efficiency. But organisations relying on OT systems are now finding that they must now pay too high a price for these gains.
