Manufacturing

The IT and OT convergence creates new cybersecurity challenges for the manufacturing industry as it works to protect human safety, environmental safety, quality of product, production goal, and trade secrets. Across complex, interconnected environments, manufacturers face challenges when trying to align a focused set of cybersecurity controls across business goals while categorizing their systems’ level of security risk.

We can deliver the necessary expertise and technology to assess potential security breach impact, implement controls, and monitor security.

Categorize Impact and Identify Risk 

Security categorization influences the level of attention and effort a company expends to implement operational security and risk mitigation controls. To manage cybersecurity risks, manufacturers must clearly understand a system’s or environment’s specific business drivers and security considerations.  

 

By partnering with us, you can become compliance ready faster by:

  • Working with a trusted expert to define mission-based rationales for security categorizations
  • Identifying unique risks arising from the organization’s ICS and IT use
  • Prioritizing investments by reducing cybersecurity risks and managing them cost-efficiently
  • Implementing security practices focused around unique risks, including various threats, vulnerabilities, and risk tolerances

Develop and Implement Appropriate Activities and Controls 

While managing competing priorities with limited resources, manufacturers need to defend digital assets from disclosure, modification, disruption, and improper use.
