Manufacturing

Manufacturing is one of the most data intensive industries, where information about processes, product designs, shipping and fulfillment, inventory and your customers, is being transferred. With a wide network of outsourcers, and a critical link to supply chains of many other industries, the systems are streamlined to better integrate front-end and back-end systems. Now, you need to ensure you are meeting your regulations, own information security standards and those of your partners.

Risks involved

• The open connectivity standards being deployed on the plant floors and in the extended enterprise, are increasingly web-based and the industrial automation systems are seldom security-aware.
• Anyone with access to control network and who has the proper programming package can perform unauthorized operations.
• Further more, disruptions to production and processes, power and communications systems as well as exposure to human safety and environmental risks are a few among the many threats which you would face in this industry.
• Marketing plans, customer purchase pattern, product formulae and supplier are some of the proprietary information, which differentiates a manufacturing firm from its competitor. If the confidentiality of such information is not maintained, firms will find it difficult to compete.

• Creating and implementing an information security program that meets your specific organizational needs and goals.
• Assessing your vulnerabilities, and finding gaps and redundancies in information security practices.
• Verifying the information security strength of your outsourcers, partners, and vendors.
• Efficiently managing your business and industry compliance.
• Improving your ability to offer new services by securing your applications.
