Only 13% of OT Network Segments Keep Operational Technology Isolated

Summary

Forescout Vedere Labs research indicates a significant lack of network segmentation in operational technology (OT) environments. Only 13% of analyzed OT network segments were found to be isolated, with critical OT and medical devices frequently sharing segments with IT and IoT assets. This lack of segmentation creates more opportunities for attackers to move laterally within networks after an initial compromise.
