Recent high-profile incidents such as the ransomware attack on Dole Company, one of the world's largest producers of fruit and vegetables, have shown how crippling these attacks can be.
Prioritization of vulnerability remediation based on business impact is the most cost-effective way to mitigate the risk and reduce exposure to a cyber attack.
5 - Benchmark Your Security Posture #. By continuously testing your attack surface at regular, frequent intervals, you can continuously benchmark your security posture.
An Automated Security Validation program provides context and accuracy when validating an organization's attack surface.
With minimal set up, requiring no agents or pre-installations, security and IT teams at manufacturing companies can safely challenge their complete attack surface to pinpoint the most damaging security gaps - just like a real-life attacker would.
This significantly enables teams to scale security efforts and minimize exposure on the IT-OT attack surface.
