Operations Technology Cyber Risk on the Rise

Logo

Singapore -- (SBWire) -- 10/13/2021 --Operations technology cyber risk is something that frequently goes unaddressed in many organisations. This is due to the fact that there have been only a few cyber-attacks that have successfully managed to undermine industrial control systems (e.g., Stuxnet in Iran). However, everything changed in 2021, particularly when ransomware hit the Colonial Pipeline in the US, resulting in a very new threat landscape when it comes to operations technology cyber risk. Now, a situation has arisen where governments and legislators, as well as those who are involved in the supply of goods and services to the public, are suddenly very aware that this risk could affect them. And that it's no longer enough to feel that this is covered by having a long list of good practice cyber security controls. Deploying additional security controls, removing operations technology's reliance on systems and designing and testing a plan to operate without the IT network for a period of time are all now going to be essential measures.
