Cyberattacks on Operational Technology Skyrocket: Fortinet’s Alarming Report
Cyberattacks on operational technology systems are skyrocketing, with 73% of organizations hit this year, up from 49% last year, according to Fortinet.

Hot Take:
Just when you thought your operational technology (OT) was safe, cybercriminals are here to remind you that nothing is sacred. It’s like they have a season pass to your network and just keep coming back for more. Time to rethink that security strategy, folks!
Key Points:
- 73% of organizations faced OT attacks this year, up from 49% last year.
- 31% of respondents reported more than six intrusions in the past year, a significant rise from 11% the previous year.
- Complete visibility of OT systems in central security operations dropped from 10% last year to 5% this year.
- Responsibility for OT cybersecurity is increasingly being elevated to executive leadership, aligning with CISOs and other C-suite roles.
- Fortinet recommends segmenting infrastructure, integrating OT into security operations, and adopting a platform approach for simplified security architecture.
