How does Cybersecurity enable a smooth (and safe) digital transformation for manufacturers?

Securing your company’s IT infrastructure – which increasingly also means your operational infrastructure too – is as vitally important as securing your premises from intruders.

Because of its growing prominence a factor manufacturers must take into account as digital technologies are deployed across production lines and in back offices, The Manufacturer’s Annual Manufacturing Report 2020 will have a section devoted to assessing UK manufacturers’ readiness to cope with cyber threats.

This section of the report is being produced in association with a world-leading cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks.

The Manufacturer’s Editorial Director Nick Peters caught up with Palo Alto systems engineer Nick Burrows at the recent Smart Factory Expo 2019 in Liverpool.
