From manufacturing lines and water utilities to transport hubs and energy plants, Operational Technology (OT) is a prime target for cybercriminals and nation-state actors.

As operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) environments continue to converge, industrial organisations are facing more threats than ever. Cyberattacks on OT systems have increased dramatically in recent years, making it critical for businesses to understand how to secure their environments. In this blog, we answer some of the most common questions about OT security and how Integrity360 helps organisations build resilient, secure, and compliant operations.

Cyber threats to Operational Technology (OT) environments are an active and growing concern for industrial organisations. From ransomware paralysing utilities to compromised suppliers exposing production lines, attackers are becoming more sophisticated, and the stakes have never been higher. 

Operational Technology (OT) environments are vital to industries like manufacturing, energy, utilities, and transportation, to name but a few. Indeed most organisations have some degree of OT infrastructure in place. But as these systems become increasingly interconnected with IT networks, they’ve also become a growing target for cybercriminals. A single breach can bring production lines to a standstill, impact economies, compromise safety, and inflict long-lasting reputational and financial damage.
