Cyberattacks on operational technology (OT) are increasing in complexity and severity. The modern cyber criminal is well-organized, well-financed and willing to wait for the right opportunity to strike.
The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) plays a crucial part in ensuring that the investment in cybersecurity matches not only the potential risks, but mirrors the value and importance of the company’s infrastructure, from financial systems to operational technology networks. In some organizations this can be viewed as a cost drain. As such, investment levels tend to be far too low relative to the scale of the risk.
