As showcased in a two-part feature story by Industrial Cyber, “Rising cyber threats and attacks against critical infrastructure installations have led to the constant adaptation of the changing threat landscape in the ever-evolving world of industrial cybersecurity. One of the primary challenges organizations face in industrial cybersecurity is the rapid evolution of threats in terms of number and sophistication. Cyber attackers continually devise new methods to breach systems, creating a constant struggle for companies to proactively defend against such threats. As a result, there is a growing emphasis on continuous monitoring and leveraging threat intelligence to detect and respond to attacks in real-time.”
Mark Bristow, director of MITRE’s Cyber Infrastructure Protection Innovation Center says, “Huge progress has been made in developing technologies to better secure operational technology (OT), especially in the areas of detection and monitoring, but gaps still exist for scalable solutions that cover some of the industry’s biggest challenges like identity and access management, segmentation, security testing, and endpoint defense.”
