The Real Problem

You've invested in security. Your team sees threats clearly. Yet when your board asks, "Why did this attack succeed?", the answer is always the same: coordination delays, separate enforcement tools, and the gap between detection and blocking.

This isn't a people problem. It's an architecture problem.

Your detection platform works exactly as designed. It detects. The question every CFO should ask: what stops what it finds?

35-45 min

Detection-to-Blocking Gap

Best-case response time with separate tools. Only 5% achieve this benchmark. Ransomware encrypts in 4 minutes.

$50K-$250K

Per Hour Downtime Cost

Every incident during that gap costs this amount. 32% of organizations need 3+ days to recover.

The Industry Reality Check

What You Face	The Evidence	Impact on Your Business
Incidents are inevitable	94% experienced incidents in the past 12 months	More likely to face attack than not
Ransomware stops operations	100% resulted in operational disruption	Production stops, not slows
Board scrutiny is coming	55% of SEC-reported incidents were OT	Your board gets briefed, ready or not
Threats accelerating	60% more ransomware groups targeting OT	Next year brings more risk

What Inaction Looks Like

Risk	Probability	Impact
OT incident in next 12 months	Steady (94% experienced at least one OT incident in 2025)	$0 exposure per incident
Ransomware reaches OT	Growing (60% more groups)	100% operational disruption
Board scrutiny	Increasing (55% SEC reports)	Accountability questions
Legacy exploitation	High (100% use legacy Windows)	Unpatched vulnerabilities

The Bottom Line: Your current approach accepts 35-45 minute exposure windows, 94% incident probability, and 100% operational disruption risk from ransomware. The threat environment accelerates every quarter. When the incident happens, your board will ask why security spending didn't prevent it.

Next Steps & Sign-Off

Action Items

Purpose: Track the key milestones required to move this initiative forward. Assign clear ownership and target dates to ensure accountability and momentum.

How to use: For each step, identify who is responsible (Owner), when it should be completed (Target Date), and track progress (Status: Not Started, In Progress, Complete).

Step	Owner	Target Date	Status

Review with finance team

Stakeholder Approvals

Purpose: Ensure all relevant stakeholders are informed and aligned from the start. This prevents surprises later in the process - for example, the OT team only finding out about security implementation at deployment time.

How to use: Identify who needs to be involved early. Getting sign-off from each stakeholder confirms they understand the initiative, its impact on their area, and support moving forward. This builds cross-functional buy-in and avoids late-stage objections.
