Industrial and manufacturing companies are suffering most from a threat that is commonly overlooked-generic malware, which gets right inside the industrial network. This means the implementation of cybersecurity solutions, that are designed for industrial and manufacturing organizations and that are aware of specific OT assets, are imperative. To further improve cybersafety, it is recommended that these organizations invest in cybersecurity services that include regular cyber awareness training.
Industrial and manufacturing companies in North America report having problems with OT infrastructure that is exposed by external connections, and sometimes falls victim to targeted attacks. Specialized OT security services like industrial cybersecurity assessments are highly recommended as well as the implementation of specialized industrial network monitoring and anomaly detection tools.
