# SSenStone | Global Alert: Rising Cyber Attacks on Industrial and Critical Infrastructure OT Systems

As cyber threats continue to escalate, attacks targeting **Operational Technology (OT)** environments are rising at an alarming rate.  
The cyber incidents at the **Aliquippa water treatment facility** and **fuel service disruptions in Iran** in 2023 clearly demonstrated how vulnerabilities in OT authentication systems can lead to serious consequences for critical infrastructure worldwide.

In the face of these growing threats, what must we do to protect our industrial and critical facilities?  
In this video, we explore practical ways to proactively defend critical infrastructure by addressing OT security and authentication weaknesses—*before* incidents turn into disasters.
