According to the 2022 State of Operational Technology and Cybersecurity research, organizations repost modest moves forward in the overall maturity of their OT security posture, with slightly more of them having advanced to level 3. But looking at specific best practices brings nuance to the issue. Only 13% of respondents have achieved centralized visibility of all OT activities, and only 52% are able to track all OT activities from the security operations center (SOC). Only around half of respondents claim to track and report various basic security metrics, and fewer than half of respondents are using any of a dozen specific security technologies and practices. The latter indicates a diversity in how organizations address OT security and reflects a market that is still evolving.
