Securing your business: the path to cyber security
An organisation’s security is increasingly dependent on its ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber-attacks.
Do you know what is needed to protect your company’s data, programmes, devices and networks? Do you know what kind of solutions are on offer to help overcome these threats?
In this webinar, the NMIS digital manufacturing team will be joined by cyber security expert, Makarand Karanjalkar of Sprytech, an AFRC Tier Two member, to help you answer these questions and talk you through the key issues regarding securing your data and critical digital infrastructure.
We’ll address the key concerns of manufacturers when it comes to adopting digital strategies and connecting their factories to the wider supply chain. You will learn about the increasing number of threats facing companies and some of the solutions available.
We will also touch on the key features of the all-new NMIS Industry 4.0 testbed named RESuME (Resource Efficient Supply and Manufacturing Environment). This particular testbed will incorporate a range of Industry 4.0 technologies with a key consideration for cyber security. You will hear how your business can get involved in the early-stages of this programme.
Cutting across all manufacturing sectors including food and drink, aerospace, automotive, marine, textiles and agriculture, this webinar has something for anyone in the manufacturing world concerned about cyber security.
