Think. Differently.

Knowledge is protection

Cybersecurity is crucial to the success of any business and the same is true for manufacturing companies. To understand why you need cybersecurity in production, it’s important to consider the consequences when a business does not fully develop or strengthen its security measures. As internet connectivity becomes more prevalent in the manufacturing industry, many businesses will benefit from increased convenience, productivity, and efficiency. However, other concerns arise as well, such as those related to cybersecurity. While this relatively new element of production systems is useful for many reasons, it introduces the need for additional layers of protection to keep valuable information safe.  Fortunately, you can easily protect your production business by identifying security risks and creating a plan to combat them.

Cyber crime is not a fair game

Overview & Areas of Concern

Incompatibility is a factor that may make some companies unwilling to work with certain manufacturers. They may decide they don’t want to associate with organizations that don’t comply with the latest security measures that put everyone at risk. In turn, non-compliant business loses revenue and vital partnerships. Trade secrets, industry best practices, and proprietary information are all examples of valuable intellectual property and can be devastating if leaked.

Identify Risks – Once you know the importance of cybersecurity, you can ask yourself other questions about improving your current system. How do you identify risk factors that may affect your business? How do certain organizational structures and systems, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), make you more or less vulnerable to cyber attacks? One of the first steps is to identify confidential, high-level information in your business. Trade secrets, industry best practices, and proprietary information are all examples of valuable intellectual property and can be devastating if leaked. Knowing where this information is stored, both digitally and physically, is equally important for ensuring security. Some manufacturers may place more emphasis on protecting digital locations than physical ones, but both require constant monitoring.

failure is not an option

Cybersecurity is crucial to the success of any business and the same is true for manufacturing companies. To understand why you need cybersecurity in production, it’s important to consider the consequences when a business does not fully develop or strengthen its security measures. Security breaches cost money, delay transactions, and affect customer and consumer trust. Without proper security measures, manufacturers can lose confidential company or industry information, which can create significant legal problems for both themselves and other businesses they partner with. The manufacturing industry is faced with hundreds of security incidents each year lately, many of which result in exposure to verified data. Crime software and web applications from external sources constitute the majority of the incidents.
