Solution Brief
Industry 4.0 has manufacturers rapidly integrating IT and OT networks, opening them up to new cyberthreats. To reduce cyber risk, stakeholders should adopt cybersecurity solutions that empower them with complete visibility and control of their networks.
How Forescout Helps
The drive to increase productivity and reduce costs in manufacturing environments has led to an exponential increase in process automation on plant floors. This integration of IT and OT infrastructures is what has characterized the 4th industrial revolution of today, known as Industry 4.0.
Although this trend provides business advantages, it has also led to networks which are more interconnected and complex. As a result, today’s manufacturing networks are operating with increased cyber risk.
To reduce this risk, manufacturers should implement cybersecurity solutions that empower them with complete visibility into IT and OT networks from a single screen.
