Industrial organizations are facing a growing paradox in cybersecurity. While operational technology (OT) environments are increasingly connected, most security strategies still assume threats will only materialize once attackers reach the plant floor. In reality, attacks that disrupt industrial operations rarely begin in OT environments.
They originate upstream, progress over time and frequently exploit the persistent assumption of isolation. This shift fundamentally changes how defenders must think about visibility, detection and response across Information Technology (IT) and OT domains.
