Dragos Industrial Cybersecurity “Year in Review” Reports Rise in Threat Groups, Vulnerabilities, and Ransomware as ICS/OT Systems Digitally Transform
Summary: Dragos's fifth annual ICS/OT Cybersecurity Year in Review, released February 23, 2022, named three new threat groups targeting ICS/OT environments, two of which gained access into industrial organizations' OT systems. The report also found OT vulnerabilities more than doubled year over year to 1,703, ransomware became the top attack vector against industrial organizations, and manufacturing accounted for 65% (211) of detected ransomware cases.
What's compelling: The number of industrial organizations with external connections to their ICS doubled, yet 86% report limited-to-no visibility of those ICS environments - so the exposure grew faster than the ability to see it.
