Industrial organizations often mistakenly focus on OT-specific threats, but research shows that 70% of attacks impacting OT actually originate in IT environments. This shift highlights the importance of the network edge—where IT and OT converge—as a critical strategic control point for detecting and disrupting adversaries before they reach safety-critical systems.
Data reveals that attackers typically maintain a dwell time of approximately 185 days, providing a significant window for detection. By moving from passive monitoring to an "Active Defense" model and implementing OT-specific security operations (OT SecOps), organizations can exploit consistent adversary behaviors and precursor signals to interrupt attack chains long before operational disruption occurs.
