From Dark Reading
The report from Siemens shows three-quarters of organizations there have been hit in the past 12 months by at least one attack that either disrupted operations technology (OT) or led to the theft of confidential data. According to the report, which was co-authored by the Ponemon Institute, 30% of all cyberattacks worldwide are against OT networks.
“We know that attacks are becoming more frequent and increasingly sophisticated, and firms quickly need to assign dedicated ownership of OT cyber, gain visibility into their assets, demand purpose-built solutions and partner with experts who have real domain expertise,” says the report. According to the report, 60% of these organizations say the risk of attack on OT networks is greater than on IT networks.
