Tenable report finds 90%
of security professionals have
suffered damage to environments
from cyberattacks
A report by the Ponemon
Institute for Tenable finds
62% of respondents said
their organisations have
suffered multiple attacks.
T
enable, the cyber exposure company,
has released the Cybersecurity in
Operational Technology: 7 Insights
You Need to Know report, an independent
study by the Ponemon Institute.
The study identifies the true extent of
cyberattacks experienced by critical
infrastructure operators – professionals in
industries using industrial control systems
(ICS) and operational technology (OT). It
found that 90% of respondents stated their
environments had been damaged by at least
one cyberattack over the past two years, with
62% experiencing two or more attacks. Key
highlights from the study include:
• Insufficient visibility into the attack
surface: 80% of respondents cited
lack of visibility into the attack surface,
knowing what systems are part of their
IT environments, as the number one
issue in their inability to prevent business-
impacting cyberattacks.
• Inadequate staffing and manual
processes limit vulnerability
management: Lack of personnel and a
reliance on manual processes were cited
“

RESPONDENTS
STATED THEIR
ENVIRONMENTS
HAD BEEN
DAMAGED BY
AT LEAST ONE
CYBERATTACK
OVER THE PAST
TWO YEARS.
