A major Canadian bank engaged Kroll to enhance its operational and cybersecurity resilience due to complex risks in its OT environment. The bank faced challenges such as limited visibility across IT/OT systems, evolving sector-specific threats, and potential exposure of critical infrastructure.

The assessment revealed governance and visibility gaps, emphasizing the need for improved resilience against a volatile threat landscape. Key systems involved included building automation and control systems managing power and cooling across critical facilities.
