Ransomware and Critical Infrastructure

Intrusion Detection Tools for OT Security in ICS Environments

Industrial control system (ICS) environments depend on operational technologies and industrial processes for production. Reliability of these operations is considered critical in sectors needed for survival, including but not limited to energy production and water treatment. Threat actors in cyberspace are targeting ICSs at an alarming rate, most notably using a tactic known as ransomware to extort owners and operators of critical infrastructure. Many asset owners lack visibility into their network devices, systems, data, and communications patterns to prevent these attacks. 

Ransomware attacks on ICS are most prevalent in North America, followed closely by Europe and a growing percentage in Asia. Manufacturing and utilities lead the drive for intrusion detection among critical infrastructure sectors. Nearly 900 critical infrastructure asset owners have been hit by ransomware in publicly confirmed cases since 2013. Ransomware can affect production, automation, quality assurance, monitoring, and safety systems, costing organizations hundreds of millions of dollars each year.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the global market for operational technology (OT) detection tools in ICS environments in four critical infrastructure verticals: critical manufacturing, energy, food and agriculture, and water and wastewater systems. The study provides an analysis of the market issues, opportunities, and implementation challenges associated with network detection tools and ICS security. Global market forecasts for revenue, broken out by segment and region, extend through 2030 based on the estimated installation base for each vertical in each region. The report also examines the emergent technologies related to intrusion detection and provides business cases for intrusion detection system (IDS) vendors.
