Legacy OT (Operational Technology) systems continue to underpin Europe’s industrial operations, yet their reliance on outdated platforms like Windows XP, 7, and soon-to-be unsupported Windows 10 makes them prime targets for cyber threats. In a major study commissioned by TXOne Networks, 550 senior decision-makers across Europe shared their insights on the state of legacy OT security, the risks involved, and the barriers to modernisation.
Key Discussion Topics:
• Extent of Legacy OT Reliance: Over 50% of OT environments in Europe still run on legacy systems, with compatibility and cost barriers preventing upgrades.
• Top Cybersecurity Concerns: Malware, unauthorized access, ransomware, and unpatched vulnerabilities dominate security fears.
• Cyber Attack Statistics: 43% of organizations experienced cyber incidents targeting legacy OT in the past year alone.
• Operational vs. Security Dilemma: Many firms are hesitant to deploy cybersecurity measures due to fears of operational disruption.
• Future Investment Plans: 62% of firms plan to invest in OT-specific cybersecurity solutions to mitigate growing risks.
