2018 Critical Infrastructure Risk Assessment

August 31, 2018

Parsons began this effort to explore the state of cybersecurity risk in critical infrastructure facilities with a simple question. The cyber threat has undoubtedly converged – both information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments are being attacked. But, to what degree have solutions to this two-pronged threat actually converged? Parsons is committed to shedding light on the stark differences between IT and OT cyber threats and implications. IT cyber-attacks are fundamentally tied to data, and the theft and nefarious use of stolen information.
