COOs Will Make Impact-Based Security a Mainstream Requirement
- The COO will become increasingly involved in OT cyber decision-making to help bridge the gray area between CISOs and on-site facility managers.
- COOs will recognize that cyber insurance providers are increasingly pressuring enterprises to maintain better cyber risk hygiene, contributing to an overall improved risk-based cybersecurity agenda.
- Impact-based risk assessments, that estimate the potential financial losses to the business due to a cyber event, will better resonate with the COO decision maker.
- Another step forward will involve the growing combination of digital twins with AI to revolutionize how leaders tackle industrial cyber risk.
- Despite these gains, cyber risks will continue to pose a significant problem for OT facilities.
- Impact-based risk assessments have become critical for enhancing cybersecurity assessments by adding all that contextual information into the evaluation.
- Improved physical security can help reduce many cyber risks, just as better cybersecurity can help protect physical access control systems.
- Experts on either side regularly exclude the other risk, such as when cybersecurity assessments exclude physical security risk, and vice versa.
- Cyber incidents have caused increasing financial damages, even for the most prepared organizations.
- We should expect risk-based OT security to become more mainstream over the coming year, especially for Chief Operating Officers.
