Frontier models rapidly map OT environments in tests; resilience must speed up

A McCrary Institute article argues AI now automates threat reconnaissance at machine speed, expanding cyber risk from IT into the OT systems behind critical infrastructure—attackers can cause greater harm faster with less expertise.
In controlled tests, Booz Allen found frontier models rapidly mapped environments, analyzed industrial protocols, and identified paths to disrupt critical operations. The insights framed a tabletop exercise in Huntsville convening Southeast critical-infrastructure leaders and U.S. government partners on reprioritizing OT security and resilience.
