Abstract :Innovations in information and communication technologies have led to complex and dangerous security problems. Industries face financial and reputational losses due to inadequate applications in the field of cybersecurity. This situation increases the importance of industrial cybersecurity, which tries to protect industrial systems from cyber threats and attacks. Industrial cybersecurity is responsible for the protection of operational technologies and industrial control systems used in various branches of the industry, focusing on the continuity of business and the security of processes. It ensures the uninterrupted and secure operation of infrastructure and processes by minimizing cyber risks that may harm business and processes. Continuously evolving types of cyberattacks pose serious risks to industrial business and processes. Traditional protection methods are not sufficient to reduce these risks. Instead, industries should develop existing cybersecurity measures and integrate information technologies with operational technologies. In this way, initiative-taking measures can be taken before a cyberattack occurs, and uninterrupted business operations can be ensured. In addition, data obtained from operational technologies should be handled with up-to-date approaches. In this context, this study aims to serve as a guide for the integration of information technologies and operational technologies in industries against rapidly evolving cyber risks and to raise awareness about the necessary qualifications and standards they need to maintain. Thanks to this roadmap, sectors will be able to predict risks in advance and create an uninterrupted and secure business model.
