SANS 2019 State of OT/ICS Cybersecurity Survey

June 19, 2019

The 2019 SANS OT/ICS Cybersecurity Survey explores the challenges involved with design, operation and risk management of an industrial control system (ICS), its cyber assets and communication protocols, and supporting operations. This year, SANS focused more broadly on the operational technology (OT) domain inside organizations, because industrial control systems are interwoven and interdependent, while also actively exchanging information with a myriad of other systems and processes. Fundamentally, a modern ICS is rarely, if ever, exclusively localized to an isolated, physical control system. Rather, it is an integral part of company operations. Operations now relies on these interactions of industrial control systems with IT, placing new emphasis on the integration of these two domains—especially around communications and data exchange.
