The Evolution of Industrial Cyberthreats: Year in Review Report
summary
Dragos’ year‑in‑review shows OT threats are more reusable and strategic: a capability like Pipe Dream can disrupt many different plants without exploits, and VOLTZITE targets specific electric subsystems to stage future disruption. Field data: 28% of mature clients have effectively porous IT/OT firewalls, 1-in-10 share critical authentications, 638 ransomware incidents hit manufacturing, and vulnerability analysis finds 46% have no loss‑of‑control impact, 73% lack practical mitigations, and only ~3% require immediate patching. U.S. government coordination with Rockwell and Dragos yields timely mitigations.
