Manusec Europe: Cyber Security for Critical Manufacturing 2018
Manusec: A global series of summits focusing on Cyber Security for Critical Manufacturing Sectors. This particular conference will try to bridge the gap between the process control and corporate IT senior level professionals, allowing them to discuss challenges, critical issues and debate best practice guidelines
“Cyber attacks targeting manufacturing companies are on the rise. The manufacturing sector is an inviting target for hackers, being the most-attacked sector only behind healthcare. It has therefore become imperative for manufacturers to implement an effective cyber strategy to be ready to face cyber threats. It is alarming that 40% of manufacturing security professionals say they do not have a formal security strategy, nor do they follow standardized information security policy practices such as ISO 27001.”
“At the forefront of manufacturers’ priorities should be modernizing production plants and machinery, fostering IT/OT convergence, unifying ownership of enterprise cyber risk and raising awareness at all levels of the organisation, from the employees to the board. Cyber risk needs to become a top-of mind topic if we are to effectively tackle vulnerabilities and combat threats.”
