Industrial Control System Vulnerabilities Hit Record Highs

Forescout's "ICS Cybersecurity in 2026" report finds a record surge in ICS vulnerabilities in 2025—2,155 CVEs across 508 advisories with average CVSS >8.0—primarily impacting manufacturing and energy; it also identifies a growing gap in CISA coverage (only 22% of vulnerabilities had ICSAs) and calls for regulatory pressure, industry collaboration, and greater vendor accountability to improve OT/ICS vulnerability management.
