Critical infrastructure IIoT/OT security projects suffer high rates of failure.

Barracuda Networks surveyed 800 senior IT managers, senior IT security managers and project managers as part of its "The State of Industrial Security in 2022" report, and found that a whopping 93% have suffered from failed security projects.

"In the current threat landscape, critical infrastructure is an attractive target for cybercriminals, but unfortunately IIoT/OT security projects often take a backseat to other security initiatives or fail due to cost or complexity, leaving organizations at risk," said Tim Jefferson, SVP, Engineering for Data, Networks and Application Security at Barracuda.

"As attacks continue to rise across industries, taking a proactive security approach when it comes to industrial security is critical for businesses to avoid being the next victim of an attack."
