nacl_logo_H_P_spotIn this sixth episode of the relaunched 'Build Smart, Lead Strong', Elizabeth continues to connect with a dynamic batch of guests. For this portion of the program she has three guests and they discuss cybersecurity and the threat to manufacturing.

Hear Aaron, Jim, and Dave join Elizabeth in this conversation about the critical importance of cybersecurity in the manufacturing industry, highlighting the specific threats manufacturers face and offering practical strategies for mitigating these cyber risks in the SoundCloud PodCast shared below!

Elizabeth Bernhard gathered three guests to discuss In the Crosshairs: Cybersecurity and the Threat to Manufacturing.

Cybersecurity is the protection of your hardware, software, and data against unauthorized access to systems, data, and networks.  This is especially important in the manufacturing industry, which experiences nearly one quarter of all cyberattacks!  And while you may be among the many manufacturers seeing benefits from new technologies, from IoT-enabled devices to advanced analytics and 'smart' factories, these cloud-connected applications can also introduce new risks.  A proactive cybersecurity strategy is critical to protect your manufacturing operations, intellectual property, PII and financial data, and your company's reputation.  This webinar will give you an overview of the threats you should expect to face and some practical tactics you might employ to mitigate cyber risks.
