C-suite survey among 200 IT/OT leaders highlights changes in OT security strategy

An increasing concern for safe and resilient operations is changing the way we operate.

As concerns for safe and resilient operations grow, organizations are rapidly reevaluating their OT cybersecurity strategies. In today’s industrial landscape, ensuring the security of operational technology (OT) environments is no longer optional—it's essential for maintaining continuous operations and protecting critical infrastructure.

Insights from the C-Suite Survey Report, conducted by OTORIO and ServiceNow, provide a comprehensive view of the current state of Industrial OT cybersecurity. The report highlights significant shifts in the mindset of IT and OT leaders as they face growing cyber threats and the need for more robust risk management practices.

  • 58% consider the level of their OT cybersecurity risk to be "high" or "critical"

  • Only 31% of organizations currently have an OT/ICS security strategy in place

  • 78% of stakeholders plan on increasing their OT security budget in 2023

The survey reveals a definitive shift from a reactive approach focused on visibility to a preventative, risk management approach. This shift signals that 2023 and 2024 will be pivotal years for strengthening operational security and safeguarding critical infrastructure.
