Technology is advancing at lightning speed and brings with it significant potential as well as threats. We are living in an age of security warfare where cyber attacks are rising in scale and sophistication, and we must rise above it by getting out of the fire-fighting mode and move into a strategic approach.

Organizations everywhere are rapidly undergoing digital transformation with the widespread adoption of technology like automation, cloud services and mobile platforms. With 5G set to bring wireless connectivity to unprecedented speed and capacity, business needs and data-intensive processes can be far better supported. There is also a growing number of industries deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) as it can complement what human resources cannot accomplish. While these technology advancements produce increased business performance, they also lead to increased exposure to security vulnerabilities.

Cyber attacks on Operational Technology (OT) systems especially Industrial Control Systems are on the rise, greatly affecting all industries. Ramping up OT security is critical in order to ensure that systems are secure and resilient. In view of the threat landscape becoming more complex and potentially detrimental, DevSecOps remains a very viable approach to adopt – where application and infrastructure security is integrated from the start of the development process.
