Industrial sites cybersecurity : benchmark on 40 assessments

Over the past two years, Wavestone’s auditors have conducted more than 40 cybersecurity assessments of industrial sites in various sectors (pharmaceutical, food processing, energy, etc.).

These assessments have enabled us to benchmark the level of cybersecurity of these sites on a selection of themes.

Wavestone has developed an industrial site assessment framework, adaptable to the specificities of the sector or the client, allowing a global assessment of the cybersecurity level of a site or a production line.

This benchmark of the level of cybersecurity of industrial sites is based on a selection of themes: governance, network segmentation, remote access, system administration and resilience. For each of these categories, we share successes, failures and recommendations, concluding with our key actions to get a good start on a site security program.
