Cloud Range releases free 28-question OT readiness assessment
Original title: How to Assess OT Incident Response Preparedness
The questionnaire covers seven areas, from asset visibility and IT/OT coordination through detection, response, recovery, and validation.
Cloud Range, based in Nashville, published a free OT Cyber Readiness Assessment on November 10, 2026, for IT, security, OT, and engineering teams. The 28 questions are meant to show where incident-response plans, tools, and teams may not work together when an attack affects industrial operations. The release cites Dragos reporting that about 3,300 industrial organizations were hit by ransomware in 2025. A Palo Alto Networks survey figure is cut off in the available text.
Unconfirmed: The cited Palo Alto Networks finding is truncated, so its 59 percent figure cannot be interpreted.
- The assessment is free and contains 28 questions.
- Seven areas include visibility, coordination, detection, response, recovery, and validation.
