Summary
Ransomware, a type of malware that encrypts files and systems, demanding payment for their release, poses a severe and escalating threat to Operational Technology (OT) environments. The impact of a successful ransomware attack on OT can be devastating, leading to prolonged unplanned downtime, significant financial losses, disruption of essential services, potential safety incidents, and damage to an organization’s reputation. The increasing convergence of Information Technology (IT) and OT, driven by Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), has expanded the attack surface, making robust cybersecurity measures more critical than ever. This playbook provides a strategic roadmap to enhance your organization’s OT ransomware readiness, helping you prepare for, prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from these insidious attacks.
