The NCSC emphasizes that as cyber threats evolve, critical national infrastructure operators must prioritize security in the operational technology products they utilize to establish robust defenses.
Historically, operational technology components have not prioritized security, allowing malicious actors to exploit vulnerabilities, especially as these components increasingly integrate with broader IT networks.
Jonathan Ellison highlighted the urgency of the situation: 'It has never been more vital for critical infrastructure operators to ensure security is baked into the systems they use.'
The new guide offers practical advice, urging organizations to prioritize products that are 'secure by design,' reinforcing the need for a proactive approach to cyber threats.
