As more and more Operational Technology (OT) devices are integrated and interconnected with enterprise IT systems for improved operational efficiency, the risk of cyberattack increases. Cyber attackers have a keen interest in targeting critical infrastructure because of the potential for monetary gain from ransomware attacks. Critical infrastructure includes electricity generation and distribution, water treatment and delivery, oil and gas production and other essential services, the disruption of which could cause catastrophic results.
