ANN ARBOR, MI—The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) has released a white paper promoting cybersecurity best practices. “Addressing Cybersecurity Threats and Safeguarding the Manufacturing Sector” is written by Kyle Saleeby, Ph.D., a researcher at the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute, and Rebecca Taylor, executive vice president for business development and programs at NCMS.
“Manufacturing is one of the top industries targeted by cyberattacks,” warns Taylor. “This white paper identifies specific steps that companies can take to reduce the risk of cyberattacks, improve resiliency and accelerate the return to normal operations after an attack occurs.”
Featuring the most up-to-date research on the evolving global cybersecurity threat landscape, it focuses in particular on the challenges and needs of small and medium enterprises. The white paper also outlines the most common types of cyberattacks and provides a range of solutions that organizations can take to evaluate and upgrade their cybersecurity efforts.
“This white paper is part of NCMS’s broader Cybersecurity Strategic Initiative, which convenes technical experts in operational technology and cybersecurity to help companies identify, mitigate, and close security and resilience gaps,” says Taylor. “In response to new and complex cybersecurity demands, NCMS is dedicated to helping manufacturers develop robust systems to ensure uninterrupted production.”
