ABB has released a new eBook titled Always On Cybersecurity, designed to provide process industry users with a clear roadmap and practical tools to address cybersecurity challenges during digital transformation. The launch highlights ABB’s continued commitment to industrial cybersecurity and its role as a strategic partner in building digital resilience for customers.

Industrial operations are currently facing increasing cybersecurity threats, particularly targeting operational technology (OT) systems that support critical production processes. Reports indicate that more than 60% of cyberattacks are now directed at OT environments. These attacks can lead to severe consequences, including production disruptions, financial losses, and potential safety risks. Global data breach incidents continue to result in average losses exceeding 4.4 million USD, with ransomware remaining one of the most prevalent threats. In the context of rapidly evolving cyber risks and stricter regulatory requirements, reactive defense measures are no longer sufficient to ensure operational security.

To address these challenges, ABB has developed this practical eBook based on its deep industrial expertise. The guide focuses on key sectors such as steel and non-ferrous metals, mining, pulp and paper, and cement, offering structured guidance on building proactive and sustainable industrial cybersecurity strategies.

At the core of the publication is the ABB Ability™ cybersecurity portfolio, which provides integrated solutions to help industrial enterprises strengthen their security posture. The approach emphasizes a shift from reactive protection to proactive defense, enabling improved operational continuity, risk mitigation, and long-term digital resilience.
