OT Cyber Grc 2030: The Executive Playbook for ICS, SCADA, Zero Trust, AI Risk, and Critical Infrastructure Governance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180462596)

A line of code can now open a breaker, spoof a sensor, or switch off a city's heat in winter. The plant is the front line, the safety system is a target, and after every incident the regulator, the insurer and the court ask one question: can you prove it?

For two decades, boards treated cyber risk as a data problem. That model is obsolete. When operational technology fails - the systems that generate power, move water, refine fuel, run trains and keep hospitals breathing - the loss is not a breach notification. It is a blackout, a boil-water notice, a halted line, a safety event. And under NIS2, DORA, the EU Cyber Resilience Act and the UK's incoming Cyber Security & Resilience regime, "we did not know the system could do that" has ceased to be a defence and become an admission - one that now lands on a named director.

OT Cyber GRC 2030 is the board-to-plant-floor operating manual for governing operational-technology risk across critical infrastructure - electricity, oil and gas, water, manufacturing, transport, health, nuclear and data centres - and across every regime an operator or vendor will meet: UK, EU, US, Gulf and Asia-Pacific. It shows you how to:

- WIN regulated, high-value contracts on the strength of an evidenced security posture.
- AVOID personal director liability, voided cyber-insurance, a missed reporting deadline, and a cyber event that becomes a safety event.
- PROVE - to a regulator, an insurer and a court - that every control was present, every failover tested, and every recovery real.

A working playbook, not a thesis: board-ready diagrams, a five-level maturity scorecard, FAIR-aligned risk quantification, a nineteen-appendix (A-S) template library, a catalogue of recent (2024-2026) OT attacks and CVEs dissected for attack, vulnerability, defence and control, and a 90-Day Execution Roadmap. Built on six proprietary frameworks: the Board-Survivable Cyber Architecture, Decision Rights Architecture, the Recoverability Mandate, the AI Accountability Stack, the Contract Control Matrix and the Evidence Chain Model.

Essential for CISOs and OT security leaders, cyber GRC managers, security architects, energy and utility directors, risk-committee chairs, auditors, insurers and procurement teams preparing for the 2030 horizon.

"If it cannot be evidenced, it cannot be defended." - Govern the risk. Prove the control. Win the contract.
