Industrial facilities and critical infrastructure are more connected than ever. Systems that were once largely isolated are increasingly connected to IT systems, cloud services, remote access solutions and the internet. This not only creates new opportunities, but also expands the attack surface.
But how is the threat landscape for industrial systems actually changing? How do attackers move from IT into OT? And why does visibility remain one of the biggest challenges for many organizations?
These are some of the topics discussed by Jan Hoff, Digital Forensics and Incident Response Lead at OT security specialist Dragos, in a video interview for it-sa 365. In the approximately 22-minute interview, Hoff discusses the increasing professionalization of cyberattacks, the growing threat to critical infrastructure, the role of AI, and why organizations first need to understand their OT environments before they can effectively protect them.
A discussion about the current challenges facing OT security and what organizations should be prepared for in the years ahead.
