The greatest cyber vulnerabilities for supply chains exist in operating technology (OT), which includes internet of things (IoT) devices, robots, industrial control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition systems, programmable logic controllers, and other technology that organizations use to connect, monitor, manage, and secure their industrial operations. These tools and technologies are increasingly at risk, and many organizations are woefully unprepared.
