[Sep 2024] Jose Seara, CEO and founder at DeNexus noted OT systems are harder and more costly to patch than IT systems — narrow maintenance windows, staff needed to be deployed on-site at multiple facilities, or even obsolete firmware that’s no longer supported.
“Given these constraints, CISO need to evolve to a risk-based approach to cybersecurity with AI-based risk model guide them in identifying vulnerabilities that could trigger the greatest financial damages to the organization,” he said.
He said AI can be a “force multiplier” that brings unprecedented efficiency in the detection of anomalies and intrusions across hundreds, if not thousands, of endpoints that might be deployed in industrial environments.
