Securing the Manufacturing Value Chain

In this free webinar presentation, Fortinet’s Rick K. Peters explores the impact and considerations for safe and secure operations.

Manufacturing organizations manage expensive and sophisticated equipment at their factories—and the systems that run the machinery are increasingly being connected to the internet. The cybersecurity implications of this trend are substantial, including possible threats to physical safety, and in some cases, national security.

As the production environment increasingly becomes digitized, manufacturers strive to secure the growing number of enabled IoT devices while maintaining business imperatives like operational efficiency, continuity of operations, product integrity and compliance.

During this 45-minute webinar, you will learn to:

• Evaluate the security needs of aging equipment and its impact on safety, uptime and time-to-market
• Recognize the value of neutralizing threats in real time and sustained situational awareness to inform decision making
• Understand the value the Fortinet Security Fabric can provide for securing industrial controls and SCADA systems in any environment
