IT Security for Manufacturing

Like every industry, manufacturing has experienced an increase in cyberattacks. Valuable intellectual property, financial systems and details about customers are all available to hackers who can breach your IT security defences.

And as the Industry 4.0 revolution gathers pace, manufacturers are deploying more digital systems throughout their factories and production lines. IoT smart sensors, new control systems and new management applications are helping your business become more efficient – and creating additional opportunities for hackers to launch attacks.

Regular penetration tests will help you identify potential vulnerabilities and better protect your business against cyberattack. Fidus can help you:

• Test firewalls, security systems and other defences using the same penetration techniques that hackers do.
• Identify security misconfigurations and incorrect permission assignments within your operating systems and applications.
• Social engineering and phishing tests that show how your employees deal with “soft” attempts from unknown parties to access sensitive data or install software.
• Assess the physical security systems in place to control access to your offices, warehouses, production lines and data centres.
• Full “Red Team” cyberattack testing to provide a real-world simulation of a full-scale hacking – and an assessment of your response to the threat.

Fidus consultants will help you understand your current security posture and how effective it will be in defending your business. We’ll also build you an action plan of improvements.
