Cultural Divide Between IT and OT Teams Blocks 65% of Organizations from Having a Unified Cybersecurity Strategy, According to Ponemon Survey Sponsored by Dragos
Summary: A Ponemon Institute survey of 603 IT, IT security and OT security practitioners, sponsored by Dragos and released November 10, 2021, found that only 35% of organizations have a unified security strategy covering both IT and OT, and only 21% have reached full maturity in their ICS/OT cybersecurity program. Sixty-three percent had an ICS/OT cybersecurity incident in the past two years, and it took an average of 316 days to detect, investigate and remediate.
What you should know: A 316-day average to detect and remediate an ICS/OT incident is time your physical operations spend compromised, and with only 35% of organizations running a unified IT/OT strategy, most boards are not being told what that exposure looks like.
