According to new research from Unisys Corporation, nearly 70 percent of companies responsible for critical infrastructure have reported at least one security breach in the past 12 months.
The survey of companies responsible for the world’s power, water and other critical functions was released in partnership with the Ponemon Institute.
The breaches reported led to the loss of confidential information or disruption of operations, Unisys said.
Sixty-four percent of the 599 security executives at utility, oil and gas, energy and manufacturing companies also said they anticipated one or more serious attacks in the coming year.
Still, only 28 percent ranked security as one of the top five strategic priorities for their organization, while a majority named their top business priority as minimizing downtime.
