Cyberattacks against the energy sector have shifted from targeting IT to operational technology. The Ponemon Institute reports that 54% of global utilities anticipate an OT attack within the next 12 months. 64% say sophisticated attacks are a top challenge for utilities. Siemens has published “Simulating a Cyberattack on the Energy Industry: A Playbook for Incident Response” The idea is to inform cybersecurity, IT, and OT teams of how they should collaborate and make decisions in a high-stress situation. More than one-third (35%) of utilities have no response plan.”]
