When a warehouse experiences a disruption, the consequences ripple throughout the supply chain.

The study shows that the world’s online privacy and cybersecurity awareness is declining.

Thales’ 2022 Data Threat report reveals that the manufacturing industry is far from immune to cyber attacks and will continue to be targeted until it adopts a zero-trust approach.

The premise behind zero trust access (ZTA) is that it’s not safe to trust anything inside or outside the network without first identifying and classifying all users and devices seeking access. The goal of ZTA is to eliminate all threats, whether they come from outside or within the network. This adoption of this strategy is vital in protecting OT systems, which often must interrogate both network users and a rapidly growing array of enabled Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices.

A distributor of natural gas needed a lightweight, local, wireless access solution at remote sites to replace old paper recording calibration methods. The patent-pending Xona platform met the distributor’s stringent efficiency and cybersecurity requirements.

mGuard RS2000 and RS4000 security and connectivity devices now have Class I, Division 2 approval to protect and connect industrial networks in many hazardous locations.

SCADA systems were traditionally “walled off” from other systems operating independently from the network. Prior to the awareness of possible attacks, this seemed to provide all the protection the SCADA system needed. They were largely proprietary systems with such limited access and esoteric coding that very few people would have the ability to access them to launch an attack. Over time, however, they became integrated into the larger company network as a means to leverage their valuable data and increase plant efficiency. Therefore, the reality is their security is now often only as strong as the security of the network.

Advanced Industrial Cybersecurity (TS13) course covers the latest developments in cybersecurity, including practical guides to the design, implementation and testing of industrial networks and applications to ensure their security and reliability.
