Summary: Dragos released its 9th annual OT/ICS Cybersecurity Report on February 17, 2026, identifying three new threat groups and finding adversaries progressing from reconnaissance to operational disruption. Ransomware groups targeting industrial organizations rose 49 percent year-over-year, with 119 groups impacting 3,300 organizations, and manufacturing accounting for more than two-thirds of victims.
Why it matters: Organizations with comprehensive OT visibility contained ransomware incidents in an average of 5 days versus the industry-wide average of 42 days, and 26 percent of ICS advisories in 2025 carried no vendor patch or mitigation at all.
