OT has a cybersecurity skills gap. Leading organizations, however, are responding by building cross-functional IT/OT security teams, investing in OT-specific training, creating hybrid cybersecurity roles, and leveraging managed OT security services to bridge immediate gaps. They are also prioritizing asset visibility, documentation, and standardized processes to reduce reliance on tribal knowledge.

Data centers have been targeted for kinetic attacks during the ongoing Iran war, and given their strategic prioritization during the conflict, they could be targeted for cyberattacks as well. Nexus contributor James LaBonty explains the risk and potential vulnerabilities, including building management systems and other cyber-physical systems.
