This report analyzes the evolving cybersecurity landscape where Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems increasingly converge. The integration creates expanded attack surfaces, making critical infrastructure vulnerable to sophisticated threats like ransomware and state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Key vulnerabilities, such as those in QNAP Photo Station and Huawei HG532 routers, are exploited by attackers to gain access. The report emphasizes the need for robust cybersecurity strategies, including network segmentation, multi-factor authentication, continuous monitoring, and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions, to mitigate these risks. Ultimately, a comprehensive approach is crucial for protecting both IT and OT systems in this interconnected environment.
