OT Cybersecurity Insights from the Frontlines – 2022 Year In Review Webinar Recap

Dragos' 2022 ICS/OT Year-in-Review summarizes recurring security gaps observed during service engagements: 80% of environments had limited-to-no visibility, 50% showed segmentation issues, external OT connections remained common (though improved), and shared credentials increased significantly. The report attributes some improvements to regulatory directives and MFA adoption, emphasizes the operational risks of IT/OT convergence and credential reuse, and recommends prioritizing the SANS Five ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls as a pragmatic roadmap for industrial asset owners.
