Overview

In a rapidly evolving marketplace that demands just-in-time production, manufacturers cannot afford to be slowed down by cybersecurity events or by efforts to prevent them. The Fortinet Security Fabric provides a unified platform that can protect IT, OT and physical security – with broad visibility and integrated control from a single pane of glass.

Today’s market conditions have made adopting Industry 4.0 methodologies and technologies an “era of connectivity, advanced analytics, automation and advanced-manufacturing technology” essential for manufacturers and organizations in other industries to remain competitive.  And the electronic systems that run factory operations, which were historically air gapped, are increasingly connected with IT systems and, therefore, the internet. As a result, these operational technology (OT) systems, including industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, are exposed to an increasingly advanced threat landscape and are targets for hackers involved in terrorism, cyber warfare and espionage.

Join us to discover how a unified, AI-powered cybersecurity platform can help secure your manufacturing environment, protect critical assets, reduce cyber risk and improve operational resilience across both IT and OT networks.

Hear from Fortinet cybersecurity experts and our technology partner, Armis, as they share practical strategies, industry insights and best practices for building a secure, resilient smart manufacturing environment.
