In the next five years, cybersecurity for industrial control systems (ICS) is expected to achieve strong growth, with estimates predicting the sector will be worth approximately $33.5 billion by 2028. With help from researchers, investigations of increasing attacks on industrial facilities and growing interest from corporate and government sectors, the industry has already amassed an arsenal of awareness and protection offerings.

With that in mind, now is the time to look at how cybersecurity for ICS will develop further and what challenges it will face in the future so that organizations can use this knowledge to shape or adjust their security strategies.

Implementing Layered Operational Technology Protections

To understand where the industry is going, it is important to look at the current state of play. Industrial infrastructure protection is a complex task, as it means using a variety of tools for each level including field devices and operation management to protect ICS and corporate IT. These are technologies for various industrial controllers, networks, computer protection and the overall security management for enterprises.

The primary cybersecurity task for any industrial organization and facility is timely detection and elimination of threats to endpoints and the network to safeguard the perimeter. If the industrial site has complex automation and control systems, it is important to protect them from accidental failures and deliberate attacks. Some examples include substation or power plant automation, discrete or continuous process automation, distributed or centralized control systems, field, supervisory or telecontrol systems. It’s important to use dedicated tools to track minor anomalies in performance indicators, for example, an indicator of pressure inside an oil refinery tank or power plant, to act before a breakdown occurs.

The Challenges

As OT systems become more complex with all the variety of devices, remote connections and geographically distributed facilities, protection becomes more complex, as well. Different tools work for different needs. Some require integration, and each has its own control panel. As a result, managing protection for the entire system becomes the most challenging task for enterprises.

Configuring each tool separately and managing everything manually can be hard work and may ultimately reduce the level of protection if it is ineffective. Different solutions do not share threat intelligence with each other, and there is no visibility within the entire OT system.
