Strengthening Cyber Defenses in Manufacturing: Steps to Take Today to Prepare for Tomorrow’s Attacks

Strengthening Cyber Defenses in Manufacturing: Steps to Take Today to Prepare for Tomorrow’s Attacks

Manufacturing and consumer goods companies are squarely in cyber attackers’ crosshairs, and the financial impact of just one incident is typically significant. With ransomware attacks comprising of more than two-thirds of incidents, appropriately preparing through tabletop exercises and other measures will prove invaluable. In this symposium, IANS Faculty Bill Dean takes into account the unique environments your teams manage as he:

• Provides recommendations to address the common challenges in manufacturing cybersecurity, such as IT/OT convergence, legacy infrastructure, securing third-party support vendors, insufficient threat intel for OT and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and workforce gaps
• Shares lessons learned through manufacturing sector-specific case studies, including what worked (and didn’t) in regards to responding, communicating, evaluating business decisions, and more
• Discusses the value of tabletop exercises for both executives and technical leaders and gives examples of how to successfully design, facilitate, build playbooks and capitalize on lessons learned to improve
