Overcoming manufacturing cybersecurity challenges
Technological innovation is ushering in the fourth industrial revolution (i4.0), blurring the lines between the physical and digital spheres, enabling faster response to demand, improved productivity, and better customer satisfaction. Manufacturing and industrial organizations are adopting new platforms and environments at a fast pace, transforming the capabilities of both their information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) platforms.
However hacker groups increasingly target weak links in the complex Hybrid IT and OT infrastructure to disrupt operations. Manufacturers and industrial corporations need to be proactive to protect their operations and supply chains from cyber attacks.

Reducing Risk of Breach from Identity Compromise in Manufacturing IT, OT & ICS Environments
The convergence of IT and OT domains have opened once-siloed OT systems to a new world of threats and risks. Increasingly, corporate networks are inter-connected with Industrial Control Systems, such as SCADA and PLC. Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the security discipline that enables the right entities to access the right resources, either hardware or IT applications, at the right times for the right reasons.
