Rapid advancements in technology and manufacturing processes have accelerated productivity and efficiency gains in the manufacturing sector. The integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) with traditional operational technologies (OT) continues to transform and optimize how we manufacture products of ever-increasing complexity globally. This increased interconnectivity and digitization have introduced new threat vectors into traditionally closed systems. These vectors, introduced into a landscape of ever-evolving threat actors, are posing significant risk in the manufacturing sector – both to individuals and to society.
