A Note to our Customers and Partners in the Middle East
More Information
Digital transformation in manufacturing is now mainstream but still a top priority. It’s also a double-edged sword. Today’s factories depend on connected IT, IoT, and OT systems, including industrial control systems (ICS), to drive efficiency and maintain a competitive edge. The result is complex, interdependent networks that increase productivity, but also introduce cyber risk. Cyber incidents can disrupt production, impact operations, and put business continuity at risk — making manufacturing cybersecurity a critical priority across the factory floor and beyond.
OT engineering and SecOps teams must work together to transform operations while ensuring business continuity and cyber resilience.
Lack of Visibility
Blind spots around IoT and OT devices, coupled with limited access to real-time operational data, reduce resilience. Manufacturers need contextual asset, vulnerability, threat, and anomaly information to prioritize and mitigate risks.
Unplanned Downtime
Cyberattacks make headlines, but day-to-day network or process misconfigurations, resource usage spikes and other anomalies are far more likely to threaten production. Until investigated, they could indicate a process problem or a malicious attack.
Legacy Equipment
Insecure by design and sensitive to network and firmware changes, legacy systems weren’t built to withstand today’s sophisticated cyber threats. ICS assets communicate using proprietary protocols that must be deeply and carefully analyzed to identify suspicious or anomalous behavior. Protecting them is one of the core challenges of manufacturing network security.
IT/OT Convergence Risk
As IT and OT networks become increasingly interconnected, the attack surface expands. Effective manufacturing cybersecurity requires unified visibility across both environments — from enterprise IT down to the control network — to manage risk where IT and operations meet.
Automate asset inventory to eliminate blind spots and gain real-time visibility into OT assets, connections, communications, protocols and more.
Detect any cyber or operational threat to business continuity — including ransomware and other malicious attacks —with actionable intelligence and guided remediation playbooks for responding to and recovering from alerts.
