EXPERT OPINION
OT Security Resilience Before, During and After the Incident
Industrial organizations have long strengthened their perimeter defenses; however, the threat landscape continues to evolve faster than these efforts. As a result, manufacturing has remained the top target for ransomware for five consecutive years. Consequently, the financial impact is significant, with the average cost of a data breach reaching $5.56 million in 2024. In addition, unplanned downtime can cost up to $125,000 per hour. Taken together, these incidents lead to halted production, disrupted supply chains, and substantial revenue losses. In this context, executive priorities are shifting toward a more comprehensive approach.
Accordingly, cyber resilience is emerging as a strategic imperative, as highlighted by Gartner. In other words, organizations must go beyond prevention to anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyber incidents. At the same time, the European NIS2 Directive reinforces this shift by imposing strict requirements on continuity and crisis management.
