Industrial Manufacturing Industry Overview
As modern life becomes increasingly dependent on industrial control systems (ICS), it becomes more important than ever to secure them. However, while more connectivity means more convenience, it also means more vulnerability.
SCADA systems, old OT and new IT environments, and even your manufacturing floor all depend on reliable, secure moving parts that do what they are expected to do — day in and day out. State-of-the-art cybersecurity protocols enable modern industrial systems to meet production requirements, combat state-sponsored threats, and continue to underpin the modern economy.
From network monitoring to document management and automated compliance, the right cybersecurity protocols keep the industrial sector going — so it can continue to keep us going.
Protecting Manufacturing Organizations
The Challenge
All manufacturers must have strategies in place to ensure the free flow of information across their supply chains but must also safeguard that information from industrial espionage, nation-state adversaries, and malicious insiders. Manufacturers are also under pressure to meet increasingly stringent export requirements such as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
Manufacturers' most valuable IP often comes in the form of unstructured data, such as CAD files, source code, and formulas. The problem is that many cybersecurity solutions lack the ability to recognize or protect such data.
Our Solution
Business-critical data and intellectual property held in CAD tools and document management systems need a data-centric security approach to reliably stay in safe hands. Fortra's Data Protection solutions lie at the core of this approach, allowing manufacturing organizations to stop IP theft and help them share data securely across their supply chain.
Our out-of-the-box dashboards and an integrated rapid start-up enable manufacturers to quickly identify structured and unstructured sensitive data, effectively classify that data, and enforce security policies to proactively prevent security incidents and data breaches. From data discovery, to deep visibility, to metadata-driven insights and accurate policy enforcement, organizational leaders can rest assured that our solutions will deliver end-to-end security, from your endpoints to your cloud environment. Meanwhile, our Vulnerability Management and Integrity & Compliance Monitoring solutions will locate and mitigate potentially exploitable vulnerabilities, manage your security configurations, and ensure immediate and long-lasting compliance.
