Manufacturing’s Cybersecurity Comedy: More Awareness, Same Old Problems!
Manufacturers are grappling with operational technology security challenges, from supply chain risks to human factors. Despite increased awareness, the struggle remains real. Outdated systems and abundant access points add to the chaos. Manufacturers must ask, “How do we measure better outcomes?” as they juggle OT security issues and a growing attack surface.
Hot Take:
Manufacturing industry, you’re like a tech-savvy octopus juggling a million access points while trying not to drop the ball on security. Who knew that making widgets could feel like playing a high-stakes game of cybersecurity whack-a-mole? Keep that awareness high, because the hackers sure are!
