SecurityWeek | Cyber Insights 2025: OT Security

SecurityWeek | Check out this piece from SecurityWeek capturing thoughts from John Sheehy, IOActive SVP Research & Strategy, on trends for 2025 in relation to operational technology (OT) cybersecurity.

“”During 2024, Russia-affiliated threat actors executed a campaign of physical sabotage throughout the European Union (EU) targeting critical infrastructure, the defense industry, and other elements of EU society,” notes John Sheehy, SVP Research & Strategy, IOActive.

“I assess it is likely that Russian-affiliated threat actors will conduct intensified reconnaissance, establishment of persistence, and the launch of exploratory cyberattacks on liquid natural gas (LNG) export and import facilities serving EU member states consistent with the Russian strategy of weaponizing natural gas export flows to those nations, and its recent operational activity in the EU,” he adds.”
