A 2026 survey of 250 UK CNI decision makers found that OT-disrupting cyber-attacks are producing £100,000 to £5m downtime costs for most organizations, making operational resilience a major business risk. The survey also shows that 23% of incidents cost over £1m and 6% exceed £5m. Weak OT visibility and slow remediation are worsening the impact across critical services.
