As cyber threats evolve, manufacturing’s operational technology (OT) environments urgently need robust cybersecurity solutions. Dragos and Rockwell Automation collaborate to address manufacturing’s unique security challenges.

This partnership offers key advantages: 

  •  Unified digital transformation and OT security
  • Intelligence sharing for better preparedness
  • Continuous monitoring, asset tracking, and threat detection with the Dragos Platform
  • Augmented capabilities through managed services
  • Joint innovation in threat detection and streamlined workflows
  • Getting ahead of, responding to, and recovering cyber incidents impacting operations

The award-winning Journal, a digital magazine from Rockwell Automation, published an article and a podcast featuring Dragos and Rockwell Automation experts with three key recommendations for manufacturing cybersecurity teams.

Prepare for Escalating Threats, Make Business Continuity Planning a Priority 

Manufacturing has become a prime target for cyber-attacks, with ransomware incidents surging by nearly 50% in 2023. Dave Kang from Dragos emphasises, “It’s about awareness and readiness for potential compromises.”

Strengthen Your Cyber Resilience 

  • Develop comprehensive incident response plans
  • Conduct regular cybersecurity drills
  • Consider all possible impacts, including production stoppages
  • Maintain real-time asset inventory
  • Implement effective vulnerability management
  • Segment IT and OT networks
  • Deploy real-time threat detection tools

 Adopt an Adversarial Mindset, Empowering Teams to Anticipate and Respond 

Effective manufacturing cybersecurity goes beyond technology. Foster a security-first culture by:

Cultivating Cybersecurity Awareness 

  • Providing ongoing employee training
  • Clearly communicating security policies
  • Addressing the cybersecurity workforce shortage

Anticipating Potential Attacks 

  • Consider timing (e.g., holidays, weekends)
  • Identify weak points in your security posture
  • Assess the value of your data to threat actors

Leverage Advanced Cybersecurity Solutions for Comprehensive Protection

Choosing the right cybersecurity partner is crucial for building a robust security infrastructure. Download our vendor evaluation checklist to ensure you’re asking the right questions.

How Dragos Enhances Manufacturing Cybersecurity 

  • Asset Visibility: Comprehensive OT asset inventory
  • Continuous Monitoring: Real time surveillance of OT environments
  • Vulnerability Management: Risk-based prioritization
  • Threat Detection: Over 1,000 new threat detections
  • Incident Response Playbooks: Case management tools

Download the Manufacturer’s Guide to OT Cybersecurity

Don’t wait for a cyber incident to disrupt your manufacturing operations.
