Key Takeaways for Senior Decision-Makers

• Industrial digitalization amplifies cybersecurity risks, driving the need for holistic operational technology security that blends IT and OT risk strategies.
• Compliance burden is increasing as national and regional authorities introduce new standards, making proactive governance and internal accountability crucial.
• The convergence of edge computing, IoT, and legacy systems requires robust integration, continuous monitoring, and the adoption of zero-trust models.
• Supply chain vulnerabilities demand rigorous source validation and transparent procurement to mitigate risks from third-party hardware or software.
• Regional variation in regulatory enforcement and technology maturity means security strategies must be adaptable and locally relevant.
• Workforce training, live asset inventories, and simulated cyber drills are essential to shortening response times and reinforcing operational resilience.

Tariff Impact and Supply Chain Adaptation

The introduction of new tariffs in the United States in 2025 has caused notable disruptions in global supply chains for operational technology security. Firms are adjusting sourcing toward alternative suppliers in Europe and Asia, leading to longer procurement cycles and greater variability in hardware quality. These shifts have prompted extended service lives for existing assets and a renewed focus on compatibility between old and new security technologies. Strategic partnerships are being formed to ensure transparency, mitigate risks, and stabilize supply flows amid ongoing trade volatility.
