A strong OT cybersecurity program is fundamental to a sustainable business operation and can potentially enhance system reliability and availability. This includes minimizing unintentional OT system information security impacts from inappropriate testing, policies, and misconfigured systems. Cyber-attacks can also have other significant impacts, such as: Physical impacts – Including personal injury and the loss of life. Other effects include the loss of property (including data) and potential damage to the environment, Economic impacts – A second-order effect of physical impacts that ensue from an OT incident, which in turn inflict a greater economic loss on the facility, organization, or others who are dependent on the OT systems. The unavailability of critical infrastructure (e.g., electrical power, transportation) can have economic impacts far beyond the systems that sustain direct and physical damage. Social impacts – Another second-order effect is the loss of national or public confidence in an organization.
