Strengthening Security For Manufacturing With Zero Trust
According to the Zscaler ThreatLabz 2024 Ransomware Report, the manufacturing industry is one of the top targets of ransomware. How can a zero trust approach keep their data, devices, and branch locations safe? Manufacturing networks are often perceived as vulnerable because they rely on outdated infrastructure and flat networks, making it easy for attackers to move laterally once they gain access. Ransomware attackers know manufacturers can’t afford downtime and are likely to pay ransoms quickly to restore production.
Read this Executive Viewpoint from Ben Corrl, former VP and Head of Cybersecurity (CISO) at Coats, a leading global manufacturer of industrial thread. Discover why he champions a Zero Trust approach to help manufacturers build resilience and protect their operations—without sacrificing agility—and how your organization can adopt the same strategy.
Key Takeaways:
- Combat Ransomware: Limit lateral movement and protect critical systems with Zero Trust segmentation.
- Secure Third-Party Access: Tightly control supplier and vendor connections while maintaining fast operations.
- Enhance AI Security: Safeguard data used in AI-driven workflows through encryption and classification.
Improve Visibility: Use continuous monitoring and real-time insights to detect and neutralize threats before they escalate.
