Your organization’s data may be more valuable than you realize. Pratum helps manufacturers understand their current security postures and develop information security programs to protect sensitive data and trade secrets well into the future.
The threat of losing IP is a leading concern among manufacturers and clients. Security breaches jeopardize the confidentiality of proprietary data, which is why a strong security posture and diligent security culture can be a differentiator for manufacturers. Defending against these cyber-attacks may seem daunting, but with the right security approach, protection is attainable.
As manufacturers utilize advanced manufacturing to gain a competitive advantage over rivals, the implementation of innovative technologies introduces a new set of security risks. While these technologies add value to product development and manufacturing, we must be mindful to ensure they do not introduce unforeseen security vulnerabilities that could expose the organization and its data.
Globalization and supply chain expansion increases the demand for innovative technology and connectivity between manufacturers and vendors.
Information Security
Challenges for Manufacturing
Continuous communication can be great for improving efficiency, but it can also lead to the loss of manufacturer trade secrets and intellectual property (IP).
Production Uptime
If one of your security vulnerabilities led to a security breach that caused production downtime, how would that impact your business?
Protecting IP
Who has access to your intellectual property? Do you know where it is stored and how it can been accessed?
Securing Trade Secrets
Does your organization value its trade secrets? Would you be devastated if the wrong person got ahold of them?
Proper Change Management
Are you properly controlling user (employee) access to data? How about former employees? Do any of them still have access?
Properly Staffing Security Team
Is your organization staffed to handle all of its security needs? Do you have the necessary resources to protect your data?
Securing Technologies in Products
Are there exploitable technologies in your products? Is your technology exposing customers to cyber-attacks?
