ISLAMABAD: A leading cybersecurity company has launched the “OT Cybersecurity Savings Calculator”, an innovative online tool designed specifically for industrial organisations to assess the potential costs of inadequate operational technology (OT) security.
Kaspersky’s new online tool has been specially developed for industrial organisations to assess the potential costs associated with insufficient operational technology (OT) security. By offering detailed financial forecasts, the calculator empowers senior management to make well-informed decisions regarding security investments.
Industrial organizations increasingly depend on interconnected systems, elevating cybersecurity to a critical factor in business resilience and profitability.
According to VDC Research, over 60 percent of industrial companies last year reported that cybersecurity breaches had led to significant costs. Despite this, a persistent disconnect remains between security teams and executive leadership as security professionals focus on minimizing risk, while executives must balance cybersecurity concerns with broader business objectives. This misalignment often results in competing priorities and underfunded security initiatives. To bridge this gap, Kaspersky has launched the OT Cybersecurity Savings Calculator.
The primary aim of this tool is to translate cyber risks into tangible financial metrics and support strategic discussions around priorities and budget allocation. By entering details such as their sector, sub-sector, region, company size, breach history, and existing cybersecurity measures, organisations can estimate their potential cost savings and receive customized, actionable recommendations. The calculator benchmarks performance against industry peers and highlights the company’s position within the current threat landscape.
