In spotlight: navigating operational technology (OT) regulation

Operational technology in 2025

Our latest spotlight responds to the increase in cyberattacks targeting operational technology. Policymakers are extending cyber rules to industrial organizations and implementing new and more stringent regulatory controls.

Discover how these shifts intersect with critical infrastructure, industrial control systems (ICS), and emerging technologies like AI.

NCC Group’s Luc Manfredi and Ray Robinson have been at the forefront of OT and ICS cyber security for decades, working with critical infrastructure firms, as well as for the regulators themselves. Drawing on this experience both drafting and complying with regulations, they share their views on how organizations can meet emerging rules and enhance their OT security.
