Description
This webinar explores the role of cybersecurity in the digital transformation of manufacturing companies, highlighting the importance of robust security measures for smart manufacturing.
Cybersecurity in Industry 4.0 is not just about protecting data; it's about ensuring the continuous, safe operation of physical assets that are now digitally controlled. From production lines to supply chains, every touchpoint of the digital ecosystem must be fortified against potential breaches that could disrupt operations and compromise safety.
The integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) in the manufacturing landscape has unlocked new potentials for data exchange, process automation, and real-time decision-making. At the same time, this convergence presents a complex challenge: an expanded attack surface vulnerable to cyber threats.
This L-DIH webinar provides a key platform for professionals to grasp the value of cybersecurity in their digital transformation path. It is crucial for businesses with a strong OT/IT infrastructure, as well as those looking to incorporate these technologies into their industrial processes. Prioritising cybersecurity allows organisations to not only secure their technology investments, but also preserve the confidence of consumers and stakeholders in an increasingly interconnected world.
