The World Economic Forum has raised alarms over critical infrastructure cybersecurity, emphasizing the vulnerability of operational technology (OT) systems, which control essential services like electric grids and water treatment. The integration of OT with IT systems, coupled with outdated infrastructure and insufficient cyber investment, has made these systems increasingly susceptible to sophisticated cyberattacks, posing severe economic and national security risks. The WEF stresses the urgency for nations to enhance OT visibility, adopt real-time monitoring, and foster public-private cooperation to strengthen defensive measures. This issue underscores the existential threat posed by cyber vulnerabilities to national resilience, highlighting the need for immediate action to safeguard essential services.
