Pages 18 Pages

Ransomware poses a major threat to OT environments, where attacks can cause severe operational, financial, and safety impacts. This whitepaper highlights the need for thorough risk assessments that account for the interconnected nature of industrial systems. Because OT environments rely on complex, interdependent components, ransomware prevention requires understanding how failures can cascade across networks. A structured assessment helps identify vulnerabilities, prioritize defenses, and strengthen resilience. By applying a systems-based approach, organizations can better prepare for, prevent, and mitigate ransomware attacks targeting critical industrial operations.
