The Legacy OT Dilemma: Secure Your Critical Infrastructure Against Cyber Threats

Presented by

Mirco Kloss, Business Development Director, TXOne Networks

About this talk

Legacy OT (Operational Technology) systems continue to underpin Europe's industrial operations, yet their reliance on outdated platforms like Windows XP, 7, and soon-to-be unsupported Windows 10 makes them prime targets for cyber threats. In a major study commissioned by TXOne Networks, 550 senior decision-makers across Europe shared their insights on the state of legacy OT security, the risks involved, and the barriers to modernisation. Key Discussion Topics: • Extent of Legacy OT Reliance: Over 50% of OT environments in Europe still run on legacy systems, with compatibility and cost barriers preventing upgrades. • Top Cybersecurity Concerns: Malware, unauthorized access, ransomware, and unpatched vulnerabilities dominate security fears. • Cyber Attack Statistics: 43% of organizations experienced cyber incidents targeting legacy OT in the past year alone. • Operational vs. Security Dilemma: Many firms are hesitant to deploy cybersecurity measures due to fears of operational disruption. • Future Investment Plans: 62% of firms plan to invest in OT-specific cybersecurity solutions to mitigate growing risks. Learn from the experts as Mirco Kloss, Business Development Director at TXOne Networks, dissects the findings from our research report: Legacy Systems in European Industrial Environments: A Cybersecurity Review. Discover actionable insights and strategies to secure your legacy OT systems against emerging threats.
