- Management
In this Cybersecurity Awareness Month mini-episode, Ian Bramson, Global Head of Industrial Cybersecurity, and Dennis Hackney, Solutions Development Director of Industrial Cybersecurity Services, discuss the specifics of what ransomware is and the difference between how it impacts IT environments and Operational Technology (OT) environments.
While ransomware in IT can hold your data hostage, ransomware in OT remains a whole different ballgame. Why? Because upon initial access to your OT network, it can completely halt your operations, causing you to lose total control and visibility. This can ultimately result in physical impact, enormous financial and reputational damages or even loss of life.
