Synopsis:
All companies that run computer systems are not immune to cyberattacks. In recent years, the industry has seen an increase in debilitating attacks on both traditional IT systems and more recently Industrial Automation and Control Systems (Operational Technology [OT]). These attacks have the potential to halt production services across many industries leading to supply chain delays, reputational and revenue impact as well as onward impact to both their customers and business partners.
In 2017 the industry was impacted by a widespread notPetya “ransomware” attack that affected many businesses’. One example was an overarching impact across Merck pharmaceutical’s corporate and manufacturing environment which halted production, took months to recover, and resulted in an insurance claim of $1.4Bn.
