Some CISOs believe that there is no need to assess risks in operational technology or to establish an enterprise OT cybersecurity standard – because they don’t run OT.
As we observe greater IT/OT convergence and the growing prevalence of smart buildings, the risk of exposure to cyber threats is larger than ever – and therefore requires a concerted effort to manage such risks. OT that was previously unexposed is now increasingly vulnerable, thanks to the acceleration towards Building 4.0. – in which smart sensors are deployed extensively, alongside remote access for predictive analytics.
