How to Build a Roadmap for ICS/OT Cybersecurity: 3 Steps to a Sustainable Program

Summary: Dragos outlines a three-step roadmap for ICS/OT security programs - understand your risk, assess maturity and gaps using a 'Crawl, Walk, Run' approach, then implement and measure progress - which it says can produce tangible results in a year or less. The post cites a Gartner estimate that by 2023, 75% of organizations will restructure risk and security governance to address converged IT, OT, IoT, and physical security needs, up from fewer than 15% in 2021.

What you should know: Dragos recommends 3-4 metrics per team member as the 'sweet spot' for demonstrating continual improvement - a concrete bar for showing a board that an OT program is actually moving rather than admiring the problem.
