Netmarks Singapore is proud to announce that it has achieved the Operational Technology (OT) Account Specialisation under the Fortinet Engage Partner Programme.
This specialisation recognizes Netmarks Singapore's ability to deliver Fortinet OT Security solutions tailored for industries such as manufacturing, utilities, transportation, and other critical sectors.
What the Fortinet OT Account Specialisation Means
The OT Account Specialisation recognises partners with advanced expertise in securing operational technology environments. For Netmarks Singapore, this achievement means we can deliver OT Security Fortinet solutions that seamlessly integrate IT and OT networks, ensuring both operational efficiency and security.
Our approach is based on Fortinet’s IT Security Fabric and OT-Aware Security Fabric, which enable consistent protection, visibility, and control across converged networks.
Why OT Security is Critical in Singapore
Connectivity of formerly air-gapped OT systems brings new vulnerabilities to industrial operations. Recent threat data underscores this urgency:
A staggering 73.3% of organisations in Singapore reported experiencing at least one OT cyberattack in the past year; more than 60% faced attacks weekly or monthly—and 35.1% had to pause industrial operations due to these breaches.
Almost 40% of industrial companies say cybersecurity is the main challenge when moving towards OT digitalisation.
On a regional level, the OT security market is valued at US$18.03 billion in 2024, projected to soar to US$60.33 billion by 2031, with a strong CAGR of 16.3%—signaling rising investment in robust OT protection capabilities.
These data points reinforce the critical need for specialised OT security solutions as organisations digitally transform their operational technology landscapes.
Impacts of OT Cyber Threats
Cyber threats targeting OT environments carry severe consequences:
Operational disruption, including shutdowns or unsafe operational states.
Damage to equipment and infrastructure, leading to repair costs or replacement.
Compromised operational data integrity, affecting decision-making.
Financial loss and regulatory repercussions, particularly in sectors governed by compliance standards.
Reputational damage, which can erode stakeholder confidence over time.
