FortiGuard Labs Operational Technology Trends Report

As organisations make their operations more agile in response to a quickly evolving marketplace, many operational technology (OT) systems are being connected to the outside world for the first time.

This trend promises great benefits for organisations, but also exposes OT systems to advanced persistent threats.

The ‘air gap’ that protected OT systems from hackers and malware no longer exists at many organisations, and adversaries are increasingly targeting OT systems as a result.

Fortinet’s 2019 OT Security Trends Report analyses aggregate data from FortiGuard Labs to glean insights about the state of security for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and other industrial control systems (ICS).
