KPMG and the Control System Cyber Security Association International (CS)2AI today released their first annual report on the cybersecurity of Control Systems (CS) and Operational Technology (OT).

The inaugural "CS/OT Cyber Security Report" is based on the findings of a survey that questioned 16,000 professionals responsible for protecting and defending assets and systems worth millions to billions in capital investment.

“The survey reveals a clear relationship between the failure to focus on the data and metrics needed to enhance security, as well as inadequate levels of maturity for OT security programs,” said Derek Harp, founder and chairman of (CS)2AI.
A key finding of the survey highlighted by Harp was the revelation that fewer than 25% of companies have incorporated an active defense of their control systems and assets.

The CS/OT cybersecurity report was launched to provide business leaders and practitioners with valuable data-driven insights that will help them create an actionable plan.
