Webinar Today: ROI for Cyber-Physical Security Programs

In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the integration of operational technology (OT) security into financial frameworks is becoming increasingly crucial. A live webinar hosted by SecurityWeek and Claroty aims to equip OT security teams and asset owners with the knowledge to transition from being perceived as cost centers to becoming key drivers of resilience within their organizations.

What Happened

The webinar will focus on the concept of Return on Security Investment (ROSI), emphasizing the importance of quantifying the financial implications of cybersecurity measures. Participants will learn how to articulate the value of security investments in terms that resonate with organizational leadership, thereby facilitating the movement of security projects beyond the pilot phase.

Why It Matters

In cyber-physical systems (CPS), the repercussions of downtime can be staggering. A single hour of operational disruption can surpass the total annual budget allocated for security initiatives. This stark reality underscores the need for OT security teams to effectively communicate the financial risks associated with technical vulnerabilities. By mastering ROSI, organizations can better align their security objectives with overall business priorities, fostering a more resilient operational environment.
