Cyber Risks in the Factory: Why OT Security Becomes a Production Issue

Industrial companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of operational technology security in their production processes.

The integration of digital twins and Industry 4.0 technologies is driving the need for better OT security. Companies are now acknowledging the importance of protecting their operational technology systems to prevent cyber attacks that can disrupt production.

A recent survey found that 70% of industrial companies consider OT security a critical issue. This shift in attitude is likely due to the growing number of cyber attacks on industrial systems in recent years.

As a result, companies are investing in OT security solutions, including digital twin-based predictive maintenance and simulation-driven design, to minimize the risk of cyber attacks and ensure continuous production.
