IT - stay protected
Mitch Scherr, CEO of Vauban Group, added: “As manufactures continue to innovate and invest in new technologies, there has never been a greater need for more effective cyber defences to mitigate against the increasingly sophisticated cyber threats we’re seeing today. “Make UK continues to lead the way for manufacturing in the UK and we’re pleased to be working closely with them, delivering services and solutions that meet both the business and cyber security needs of all manufacturers, including SMEs, ultimately improving the resilience of the UK’s manufacturing industry in these uncertain times.”
Earlier this year, a cyber-attack brought a Norwegian aluminium producer to a standstill. The incident occurred in March when one of the world’s largest aluminium producer NC Hydro was forced to switch to manual operation when their digital systems were infiltrated and they became subject to a severe ransomware attack. In the end, they had to halt production completely while the virus was isolated. Nuff said. Stay protected out there.
