Kaspersky study: Only a quarter of organizations in APAC perform regular cybersecurity assessments

A study “Securing OT with Purpose-built Solutions” conducted by Kaspersky in collaboration with VDC Research, illuminates the shifting landscape of cybersecurity within the industrial sector. Focusing on key industries such as energy, utilities, manufacturing and transportation, this research surveyed over 250 decision-makers to unveil vital trends and challenges faced in fortifying industrial environments against cyber threats.

A strong cybersecurity strategy begins with complete visibility into an organization’s assets, allowing leaders to understand what assets need protection and assess the highest risk areas. In environments where IT and OT systems converge, this demands more than just a comprehensive asset inventory. Organizations must implement a risk assessment methodology that is aligned with their operational realities – by establishing a clear asset baseline, organizations can engage in meaningful risk assessments that address both corporate risk criteria and the potential physical and cyber consequences of vulnerabilities.

Recent survey findings reveal a concerning trend: a significant number of organizations are not engaging in regular penetration testing or vulnerability assessments. In Asia Pacific (APAC), only 26.7% of respondents perform these critical evaluations on a monthly basis, while the majority (42.7%), conduct assessments every few months. Alarmingly, 20% do so only once or twice a year, and 10.7% address vulnerabilities solely as needed. The frequency of cybersecurity assessments conducted by APAC organizations is also approximately 6% lower than the global average. This inconsistent approach can leave organizations vulnerable as they navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape.

Every software platform is inherently vulnerable to bugs, insecure code, and other weaknesses that malicious actors can exploit to compromise IT environments. For industrial companies, effective patch management is therefore crucial to mitigate these risks. However, studies reveal that many organizations encounter significant challenges in this area, often struggling to allocate the necessary time to pause operations for critical updates. Disturbingly, many organizations in APAC patch their OT systems only every few months or even longer, significantly heightening their risk exposure. Specifically, 21.3% apply patches monthly, while 52% do so every few months, and 16% update only once or twice a year.

These challenges in maintaining effective patch management are exacerbated in OT environments, where limited device visibility, inconsistent vendor patch availability, specialized expertise requirements and regulatory compliance add layers of complexity to the cybersecurity landscape.

As IT and OT systems increasingly converge, there is a pressing need to harmonize these traditionally disparate systems, which have often relied on proprietary technologies rather than open standards. The challenge is further intensified by the rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices—ranging from cameras and smart sensors for asset tracking and health monitoring to advanced climate control systems. This explosion of connected devices broadens the attack surface for industrial organizations, underscoring the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures.

For industrial customers, Kaspersky provides a unique ecosystem that seamlessly integrates specialized OT-grade technologies, expert knowledge and invaluable expertise. Kaspersky Industrial Cybersecurity (KICS), a native XDR platform for critical infrastructure, is the cornerstone of this OT ecosystem, that offers centralized asset inventory, risk management and audit, and enables security scalability across diverse, distributed infrastructure via a single platform. Additionally, Kaspersky recommends that industrial organizations adopt the Secure by Design ideology when deploying new OT devices or systems.

“At Kaspersky, we bring the Secure-by-Design concept to life through our Cyber Immunity approach. This means building products that are resilient by architecture — able to withstand attacks, even those exploiting unknown vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional systems, Cyber Immune products don’t rely on constant patching or external security layers. As a result, our clients benefit from stronger protection, simplified maintenance and a lower total cost of ownership — without compromising on security.” – says Dmitry Lukiyan, Head of KasperskyOS Business Unit.

With Cyber Immune products based on KasperskyOS, organizations can enhance their systems’ resilience with minimal additional cybersecurity costs, thereby reducing overall cybersecurity expenses in the long term.

Adrian Hia, Managing Director for APAC at Kaspersky, comments: “In a hypercompetitive business environment, consistency and continuity are key cornerstones for organizational performance. The need for a robust security system then becomes crucial to guard against potential cyber breaches that could result in significant operational disruptions, such as unplanned downtime, equipment damages, and scrap and loss of work-in-progress inventory. There is a need for companies to bolster the resiliency of their cybersecurity systems – not only to protect their operations, but also to strengthen their competitive edge in a digitally driven economy.”
