From 2025 to 2026: Trends, Risks & Insights in OT Security
As digitization accelerates, OT organizations face new complexities from regulatory pressures to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. AI-powered attacks are raising the stakes, enabling more convincing phishing attempts and helping adversaries evade traditional cyber-defenses.
But there’s progress. The 2025 State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity Report shows that organizations investing in cybersecurity are making real strides in protecting their critical OT systems.
A panel of experts from Fortinet, Accenture and NTT Data take a deep dive into the findings to discuss:
- An analysis of the OT intrusions as well as the worsened outcomes seen post-attack
- Why responsibility for OT Security being elevated to executive leadership levels ranks is a significant trend
- The key areas where OT Security postures are showing signs of maturity, as well as the areas that still need more attention
