Introduction
Many Industrial companies are interested in converging (or integrating) their IT and OT cybersecurity programs. Some have limited objectives, like merging of security teams, while others are pursuing broad-based convergence of people, processes, and technologies to minimize overall cyber risks and reduce security costs.
The purpose of this ARC research study is to understand the current state of convergence programs across the industrial landscape. This includes what companies are doing and what they are learning about driving convergence of disparate security programs. Our methodology includes two data collection steps. First, we are asking users to complete this short on-line survey to give us a high level assessment of the current level of adoption and general goals. Second, we will conduct brief interviews with a select group of participants to gain deeper insight into the scope and objectives of their programs as well as the lessons they have learned that can help others in their IT-OT cybersecurity convergence journeys.
We are looking for participants who are end users involved in converging (or integrating) some part of their company's IT and OT cybersecurity programs. Participants that complete this survey and are willing to support a followup call will receive a complimentary copy of the research findings. We believe this report will benefit everyone involved in convergence efforts. Our findings will also benefit everyone who attends the workshop we have planned on this subject at the ARC Industry Forum in Orlando, FL on February 9-13, 2025.
Privacy: Your companies privacy and confidentiality is assured and your identity will not be released to others. Your responses will be combined with others and only appear as aggregated information in ARC reports on our findings from this research.
