Gartner expects that companies will prioritize OT security in the next several years. According to Gartner experts, a comprehensive OT security solution should provide full visibility across the OT network and also alert on any potential security vulnerabilities. “Through 2025, 70% of companies will deploy cyber-physical systems protection platforms as the first step in their asset-centric security journey,” states Gartner.
To address customers’ challenges related to industrial cybersecurity capabilities and improve overall resiliency in the region, CyberKnight announced today at GISEC 2024 that it has become a value-added distributor for TXOne Networks. TXOne ensures reliability and safety of industrial control systems and operational technology environments; the company’s OT-native network segmentation and defense technologies enable organizations to mitigate the impact of cyberattacks.
