OT Cyber Threat Report 2026 reviews 57 public 2025 incidents with physical impacts, noting a 25% decline in recorded breaches largely tied to a plateau in ransomware but a doubling of nation-state and hacktivist attacks; it highlights major incidents (e.g., Jaguar/LandRover, Collins Aerospace, Polish DER near‑miss, GPS jamming and ship groundings), analyzes macro trends (ransomware ecosystem changes, AI use, zero‑day exploitation), and recommends deterministic, hardware‑enforced defenses such as CIE mitigations, unidirectional gateways and secure connectivity principles.
