Industrial cyber risk: Three strategies for building organizational resilience
Summary
Industrial systems (manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining) that were once isolated are now increasingly connected to enterprise platforms, cloud environments, and third-party ecosystems. This connectivity transforms how operational risk propagates across organizations, suppliers, and public infrastructure, turning what were once localized technical incidents into potentially widespread disruptions. The article outlines three key ways companies can build resilience against industrial cyber risk, emphasizing that cybersecurity is both a security and governance issue, with uneven maturity and structural weaknesses affecting how organizations govern these risks.
