The survey can be taken at any time and the data collected after the first report is published will be used for the next report. Some of the experts present at the ICS Cyber Security Conference pointed out that many industrial organizations still don't take cybersecurity seriously, often arguing that they haven't been or they are unlikely to be targeted by malicious actors. However, the survey shows — assuming that the respondents answered truthfully — that OT security incidents can have serious consequences when they do occur. When asked about the impact of ICS security incidents experienced in the past 12 months, roughly 1% of respondents admitted that it resulted in injury and 1% said the incident led to loss of life. There is no additional information on this handful of incidents as the data was mostly collected anonymously — respondents are given the option to provide their information if they want to register for the opportunity to win a prize. Approximately a quarter of respondents said the incident led to operational disruptions, and many could not provide an answer due to organizational policies.
