In addition to the threats to the Internet of Things (IoT), Operational technologies (OT) and Industrial Communication Systems, and Information Tech infrastructure, the convergence of these tech steams also exponentially increases the risks associated with them.
Businesses are indeed struggling to identify the right model that blends people, processes, and technology convergence to maximize efficiency while minimizing threats and so far this seems to be as elusive as the proverbial holy grail.
- 7 out of 10 businesses we spoke to last year in November had attained some level of operational convergence across technologies but only 2 were addressing the threats arising out of them
- IT-IoT and IT-OT convergence were of concern to most businesses, but they didn’t have enough actionable insights to do something about it
- In the last 6 months, businesses hosting multiple technologies were found to be targeted using unique malware such as those that move laterally
- Overall, convergence was found to degrade the overall cybersecurity posture of an entity significantly
