Austen Byers urges manufacturers to start establishing cyber protection within the operational technology landscape
Dec 24, 2024 –A walk across an automotive manufacturer’s plant floor can be eye-opening when it comes to cyber security. The attack surface has grown so huge, and the operational technology (OT) environment so complex, that even plant and security managers are often stunned to discover the range of gaping vulnerabilities that exist under their watch.
More connectivity across and beyond vehicles, increasingly innovative and powerful technologies, and new suppliers across the manufacturer’s diverse ecosystem are coming into play simultaneously. What are the cyber security gaps that are being introduced along the way? And, most importantly, how can manufacturing facilities in this multi-layered industry get control over the OT environment and quickly put into place practical and effective protection measures?
In a recent article published on Automotive World, Austen Byers, Technical Director at TXOne Networks, discusses the growing security challenges in automotive manufacturing and why a proactive approach to OT security is essential.
