5 Reasons Why Risk-Based Vulnerability Management Matters in OT
Summary: Dragos argues that risk-based vulnerability management has become a cornerstone of OT cybersecurity as industrial systems grow more connected, prioritizing vulnerabilities by impact and likelihood of exploitation rather than by score alone. The post cites Dragos figures that 52% of vulnerabilities could cause both loss of view and loss of control, 79% required existing access to a control systems network to exploit, and 20% of advisories applied to products bordering the enterprise.
What you should know: More than half the vulnerabilities Dragos tracked could take away both visibility and control of a physical process at once, and four in five required an attacker to already be inside the control systems network - so the perimeter breach is the precondition, not the event.
