Manufacturing in the Crosshairs: How Zero Trust Architecture Secures the Future of Smart Factories
The fourth industrial revolution—Industry 4.0—is redefining manufacturing with smart factories, IoT-connected devices, and predictive maintenance. But with such innovation comes unprecedented risks. The manufacturing vertical has experienced the highest volume of IoT malware attacks, accounting for 36% of all IoT malware blocks observed. As manufacturers increase connectivity across operational technology (OT) systems, remote workforces, and third-party suppliers, and leverage artificial intelligence (AI) for efficiency, they also create new cyberattack vectors that require proactive protection.
Read this executive brief by Frost & Sullivan, a leading market research and analysis firm to see how to build a resilient factory of the future.
Key Takeaways:
- Why smart factories are high-risk targets for cyberattacks.
- How Zero Trust strengthens security across connected ecosystems.
- Steps to implementing a future-ready cybersecurity strategy.
