According to a recent LinkedIn post from DeNexus, new SANS 2024–2025 ICS/OT survey data indicates a mixed trend in cyber incident timelines for industrial and operational technology environments. The post highlights longer compromise-to-detection and containment-to-remediation periods, partially offset by faster detection-to-containment.

The post suggests that mean compromise-to-detection rose from 17.0 to 40.4 days year over year, while containment-to-remediation increased from 32.2 to 39.2 days. Detection-to-containment improved, with mean days decreasing from 20.3 to 16.1, signaling some operational gains despite broader timeline expansion.
As shared in the LinkedIn post, DeNexus links extended incident timelines to higher potential severity and financial loss, especially for low-frequency, high-impact cyber events. For investors, this framing underscores persistent risk exposure in critical infrastructure and may support demand for advanced risk analytics and mitigation solutions.
The post’s emphasis on quantifying changes in incident response intervals aligns with growing interest in cyber risk modeling for ICS/OT environments. If DeNexus’ offerings are positioned to help operators reduce these time windows and better price or manage cyber risk, the data points highlighted could translate into stronger long-term adoption and pricing power in a specialized cybersecurity niche.
