By 2026, OT cybersecurity will shift from afterthought to backbone, driven by secure-by-design tech, cyber-literate workforces, and integrated safety.

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from digital threats and unauthorized access. It involves implementing measures such as encryption, firewalls, and user authentication to safeguard against cyber attacks and maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. With most businesses increasing their cyber complexity in operations, cybersecurity will need to evolve alongside these operations to prevent exploits and cyberattacks.
