In the Crosshairs: Cybersecurity and the Threat to Manufacturing Cybersecurity is the protection of your hardware, software, and data against unauthorized access to systems, data, and networks. This is especially important in the manufacturing industry, which experiences nearly one quarter of all cyberattacks! And while you may be among the many manufacturers seeing benefits from new technologies, from IoT-enabled devices to advanced analytics and 'smart' factories, these cloud-connected applications can also introduce new risks. A proactive cybersecurity strategy is critical to protect your manufacturing operations, intellectual property, PII and financial data, and your company's reputation. This webinar will give you an overview of the threats you should expect to face and some practical tactics you might employ to mitigate cyber risks.
