Protect Your OT and IoT Systems with Shieldworkz: Ransomware Preparedness in 2025

Ransomware attacks on Operational Technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) systems are a growing threat to industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy, where downtime can have catastrophic consequences. As of May 28, 2025, at 10:44 AM IST, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reports a 155% increase in OT-targeted ransomware attacks in 2024, with breaches costing an average of $24 million. From locking down SCADA systems in a power grid to halting manufacturing production lines, these attacks can lead to environmental disasters, blackouts, and significant financial losses, making preparedness a critical priority.

At Shieldworkz, we’re dedicated to securing OT/ICS and IoT environments for industrial leaders. That’s why we’ve developed the IoT and OT Ransomware Preparedness Playbook—a vital resource for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), plant managers, and security architects. Published on May 28, 2025, this playbook offers actionable strategies to mitigate ransomware risks across the attack lifecycle. Download it today to safeguard your operations in 2025.

Why Ransomware Preparedness Is Critical for OT and IoT in 2025

OT and IoT systems are increasingly interconnected, creating vulnerabilities like unpatched devices and internet-exposed assets. With 99% of industrial organizations reporting a cyber incident in 2024, ransomware remains a top threat, often exploiting attack vectors like phishing or misconfigured IoT sensors. The rise of AI-driven ransomware and Metaverse-integrated virtual factories further heightens risks, demanding a proactive approach. A robust preparedness plan helps you anticipate threats, respond swiftly, and recover effectively, minimizing downtime and avoiding fines averaging $12 million per violation.

Why Download the IOT and OT Ransomeware Preparedness Playbook?

Tailored for Industrial Leaders: Designed for CISOs and managers in manufacturing, oil and gas, and energy sectors, this playbook addresses OT and IoT-specific ransomware risks.

Comprehensive Strategies: Cover the entire ransomware lifecycle with actionable steps to prepare, respond, and recover, ensuring operational continuity.

Enhance Resilience: Align with global best practices to protect your systems from 2025’s evolving threats, reducing the impact of attacks.

Key Takeaways from the Playbook
