As cyber threats evolve, manufacturing’s operational technology (OT) environments urgently need robust cybersecurity solutions. Dragos and Rockwell Automation collaborate to address manufacturing’s unique security challenges. This partnership offers key advantages:
- Unified digital transformation and OT security
- Intelligence sharing for better preparedness
- Continuous monitoring, asset tracking, and threat detection with the Dragos Platform
- Augmented capabilities through managed services
- Joint innovation in threat detection and streamlined workflows
- Getting ahead of, responding to, and recovering cyber incidents impacting operations
The award-winning Journal, a digital magazine from Rockwell Automation, published an article and a podcast featuring Dragos and Rockwell Automation experts with three key recommendations for manufacturing cybersecurity teams.
Prepare for Escalating Threats, Make Business Continuity Planning a Priority
Manufacturing has become a prime target for cyber attacks, with ransomware incidents surging by nearly 50% in 2023. Dave Kang from Dragos emphasizes, “It’s about awareness and readiness for potential compromises.”
Strengthen Your Cyber Resilience
- Develop comprehensive incident response plans
- Conduct regular cybersecurity drills
- Consider all possible impacts, including production stoppages
- Maintain real-time asset inventory
