Of course, this cannot be further from the truth: ensuring security and safety of industrial control systems has always been the most important job for OT experts. However, after decades of dealing with unique technologies and regulations and with a traditionally strong focus on human and process safety, securing IT assets was by far not their top priority. As industrial networks are becoming increasingly complex, geographically dispersed and interconnected, however, both impact and probability of numerous cybersecurity risks are growing, and the biggest challenge for CISOs nowadays is no longer how to persuade OT people to take notice, but how to evaluate a vast number of potential threats and to prioritize the actions needed to protect their networks.

For many decades now, emerging threats have put organizations at risk. As the IT landscape evolved and threat actors found new ways to attack, security teams needed to find new ways to detect and respond to threats. While security tools such as SIEM, SOAR and EDR technologies all have their benefits, organizations must look beyond the limits of these offerings to extended detection and response (XDR).

Learn how botnet infections can impact your security posture. Security incidents such as malware infections can cause damage and disruption that propagates far beyond the organization, affecting its reputation, brand value and customer loyalty. Security ratings are impacted by these, giving an independent view into potential areas where security resources could be focused. In this webinar, BitSight's Tiago Pereira explains how and why botnet infections are a key metric of the effectiveness of your security posture, their impact on external security ratings and how to effectively deal with infections affecting your organization's rating.
