The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of ai powered cybersecurity automation tools, expansion of smart factories and connected ot ecosystems, rising demand for real time threat intelligence integration, growth of cloud based ot security management platforms, increasing focus on cyber resilience and operational continuity planning. Major trends in the forecast period include ai driven automated incident response orchestration for ot environments, real time ot threat detection using behavioral analytics and anomaly monitoring, zero trust architecture adoption for industrial control system security, digital twin based incident simulation and response validation, converged it ot cybersecurity frameworks for critical infrastructure protection.

The growing complexity of cyber threats is anticipated to drive the expansion of the operational technology (OT) incident playbooks market in the coming years. Cyber threats encompass harmful activities, attacks, or attempts by malicious actors to obtain unauthorized access to systems, interrupt business processes, extract confidential data, or compromise critical infrastructure through digital platforms and networks. The rising complexity of cyber threats is attributed to the increasing use of artificial intelligence and sophisticated automation technologies by threat actors, allowing them to execute more advanced, focused, and difficult-to-detect cyberattacks targeting organizations and essential infrastructure. Operational technology incident playbooks strengthen cybersecurity preparedness by offering structured response guidelines that enable organizations to identify, manage, analyze, and restore operations following complex cyber incidents while reducing the impact on industrial processes. For example, in April 2025, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a US-based law enforcement and intelligence organization, the Internet Crime Complaint Center recorded 859,532 cybercrime complaints in 2024, with total reported losses surpassing $16.6 billion, indicating a 33% rise in losses compared to 2023. Therefore, the increasing complexity of cyber threats is contributing to the growth of the operational technology (OT) incident playbooks market.

Leading companies operating in the operational technology (OT) incident playbooks market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as artificial intelligence-native security information and event management platforms, to improve threat detection accuracy, automate incident response workflows, and accelerate cybersecurity decision-making across critical infrastructure environments. Artificial intelligence-native security information and event management platforms refer to advanced cybersecurity solutions that integrate artificial intelligence-driven analytics, automated investigations, threat intelligence, and response orchestration capabilities to enhance security operations and incident management. For example, in March 2023, Fortinet Inc., a US-based cybersecurity company, launched new specialized cybersecurity products and professional services for operational technology (OT) environments as an expansion of its Security Fabric for OT. The offering introduced enhanced cyber-physical security capabilities designed to reduce cybersecurity risks across industrial control systems and critical infrastructure, while improving visibility, threat protection, and secure IT/OT convergence for industrial operations.

In March 2025, Armis Inc., a US-based cyber exposure management and security company, acquired OTORIO Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Armis sought to enhance its operational technology and cyber-physical security capabilities by incorporating OTORIO’s industrial threat detection, cyber risk management, incident response, and operational resilience solutions, thereby reinforcing protection for critical infrastructure and industrial operations. OTORIO Ltd. is an Israel-based operational technology cybersecurity company that delivers industrial incident response, cyber risk assessment, and operational technology security solutions.
