Cyber attacks against industrial control systems have substantially increased, but organizations are still not as prepared as they should be to deal with such attacks, according to a study by Ponemon Institute. “It is difficult to understand why security is not a top priority, because 67 percent of respondents say their companies have had at least one security compromise that led to the loss of confidential information or disruption to operations over the last 12 months,” the report stated.  The report is just the latest to show slow progress in improving cyber security for critical infrastructure, and companies aren’t making it a priority, the report said. “People across the board recognize the problem, but as a corporate priority it is not in the top five,” said Larry Ponemon, one of the study’s authors.
