Bottom line: Cybersecurity threats to OT systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in the U.K. manufacturing sector, with 43% of OT security incidents reported in 2022 being attributed to known vulnerabilities.
What's happening: Cybersplice has established Cybersplice UK Ltd, expanding its OT cybersecurity activities into the U.K. market, with a focus on manufacturing and industrial environments. This move follows the company's recent partnership with Schneider Electric to provide OT cybersecurity solutions for the global industrial sector.
What to do: Security leaders in the U.K. manufacturing sector should review their OT systems for known vulnerabilities and prioritize the implementation of a robust, industry-recognized security framework, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, to mitigate the risk of OT security incidents.
