With 75% of organizations experiencing at least one OT security breach in 2020 (Source: Fortinet), it’s clear that the stakes are higher than ever. ...

The Growing Threat of Cyber Attacks on OT Systems Operational Technology (OT) systems, which were once isolated from the internet, are now increasingly connected, making them vulnerable to cyber threats. According to a report by Fortinet, 74% of organizations experienced an OT security breach in 2020, highlighting the need for robust monitoring and alerting systems to detect and respond to these threats. OT security is no longer a niche concern, but a critical aspect of overall cybersecurity strategy. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of monitoring and alerting in OT security and how it can help prevent cyber attacks. ...

Introduction The increasing convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) has created new cybersecurity challenges for industries that rely on OT systems. As OT systems become more interconnected, the risk of cyber threats and attacks also increases. According to a report by Gartner, the number of cyberattacks on OT systems is expected to increase by 200% by 2025. Therefore, it is essential to implement best practices for OT security to protect these critical systems from cyber threats. ...
