The industrial landscape is evolving. The industrial internet of things (IIoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced data analytics are unlocking new levels of efficiency and productivity. They’re also introducing a new, complex set of challenges for operational technology (OT) cybersecurity. Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, targeting everything from power grids to water treatment facilities.
It's no longer a question of “if” but “when.” Let’s look at some common hurdles to prioritizing OT cybersecurity and explore how a partnership with Champion can help.
Challenges
"Implementing new security measures will disrupt operations or lead to excessive downtime."
By working collaboratively with your team to understand your processes and needs, we will develop a phased approach that integrates seamlessly and minimizes disruption. Ongoing support from our team will bring continuity from implementation to maintenance, ensuring smooth operation.
"Our legacy systems aren’t compatible with modern security tech."
We understand the challenges of securing legacy systems. Our team employs a layered security approach– including network segmentation and access control– to strategically mitigate risk.
"We don’t have the time or resources to design, implement or maintain new cybersecurity measures."
The global cybersecurity talent gap makes building and keeping a top-tier in-house team a constant uphill battle. Partnering with a dedicated solution provider like Champion offers a scalable solution. From meeting compliance standards to implementing cutting-edge tech and innovative strategies, our expert team has you covered.
"Cybersecurity solutions seem expensive, and the return on investment (ROI) isn't always clear."
The cost of a successful cyber attack can be astronomical– encompassing operational disruption, financial loss, and enduring reputational damage.
Recovering a single GB of data from a ransomware attack cost an average of $53,000 in 2023.*
Our risk-based approach and tailored solutions provide measurable improvement in your security posture and maximize your ROI.
