The convergence of Information Technology (IT) with Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and the expanding landscape of Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices is transforming how modern enterprises operate. As these traditionally separate networks become more interconnected, organisations have a unique opportunity to optimise their operations, gain real-time insights, and improve overall efficiency. This integration allows for streamlined processes, predictive maintenance, and enhanced data analysis capabilities, driving digital transformation across industries.
However, the integration of IT with OT, ICS, and IoT/IoMT networks also introduces significant challenges, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. As these systems become more intertwined, the attack surface for cyber threats increases, making critical infrastructure more vulnerable to potential breaches, data manipulation, or disruptions in service. Enterprises are now faced with the challenge of protecting both their IT and OT environments while ensuring that their interconnected systems remain secure, reliable, and resilient.
In response to these challenges we conducted a survey to better understand how enterprises are approaching the integration of these diverse systems. The survey aimed to gather insights into the strategies, technologies, and best practices that organisations are adopting to secure their interconnected networks. We are particularly interested in learning about how enterprises are navigating the complexities of cybersecurity, ensuring the safe operation of their ICS and IoT devices, and maintaining the integrity of their data in an increasingly interconnected world.
The results provided some common areas of risk which require mitigation and also demonstrate varying levels of success leveraging their cybersecurity and compliance tools.
