Bridging the IT-OT Cybersecurity Gap: Strengthening OT Cybersecurity with Advanced SOC Capabilities
Summary: Dragos cites studies finding that only 21 percent of industrial organizations have reached OT cybersecurity maturity, with the IT-OT gap as a major impediment, and that detecting, investigating, and remediating ICS/OT incidents averages around 316 days and costs over $2.9 million per incident. The blog attributes the gap to remote access, shared credentials, and unchecked communication on ICS and OT assets lacking proper network segmentation, and describes a Dragos-Splunk integration pairing Splunk Enterprise Security with the Dragos OT Security Add-on to index, search, and correlate events across enterprise and OT networks.
Key Takeaway: An average of 316 days to detect, investigate, and remediate an OT incident, at over $2.9 million each, is the timeline your industrial SOC is working against while only 21 percent of industrial organizations have reached OT cybersecurity maturity.
