The global state of industrial cybersecurity independent survey results , 2021 : Resilience amid disruption , Claroty a manufacturer £ 5mn , deploying the best technology that you can helps you gain a full understanding of the risks and vulnerabilities within your environment . It can also help to identify early signs of anomalous behaviour , so that you can find out if a process is not operating as it should be before any damage is done ,” says Chassar .
What does the future hold ? Over the next 12 to 18 months , Chassar expects to see an increase in the volume of regulations centred around critical infrastructure environments . “ There are already many regulations underway in the United States , Australia , and Germany , and I believe that this will , in turn , drive the next wave of reporting compliance ,” says Chassar .
“ I expect to see more innovation when it comes to the Extended IoT ( XIOT ) which will drive IT security and control vendors to partner with domain specialists – like Claroty – to deliver a much more holistic cybersecurity strategy .
“ Collaboration and shared knowledge will be a key trend in the future to enrich each other ' s understanding of a very complex environment .
“ I also see society placing more demand on factories to be faster and more efficient in the way they produce goods , as well as being more eco-aware by using less energy and reducing waste . With this , though , an increasing number of physical systems will become connected that will need protecting . Finally , I see a greater use of cloud technology as we see Industry 5.0 accelerate and organisations look to how they can be more interconnected with end-to-end efficiency , as well as be more energy efficient .”
