The rise of IT/OT convergence has transformed cybersecurity in manufacturing, opening up new vulnerabilities and attack vectors. As manufacturing environments become more connected—from shop floors to enterprise networks and global supply chains—the risk of cyberattacks is escalating.
Manufacturers now face a growing array of threats, from disruptive ransomware attacks to data breaches compromising sensitive intellectual property. Industry 4.0 technologies like the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and cloud-based platforms have expanded the attack surface, making organizations even more susceptible to cybercriminal activity.
Cybersecurity breaches in manufacturing can lead to crippling downtime, safety incidents, and irreparable reputational damage. The fallout from these breaches can range from financial losses to severe consequences for both property and human life.
In this session, we take a deep dive into IT/OT Convergence. Press play to discover how the fusion of IT and OT is driving greater efficiency and automation—but also dramatically expanding the attack surface and creating new cybersecurity risks.
