As manufacturers rely more on new technologies, the need to protect their systems from hackers and criminals becomes even more crucial. Ransomware, advanced phishing attacks, and insider threats are all serious.
Guided by the NIST Framework
The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework is a tool designed by the Federal Government to minimize the risk of cyber intrusion and data loss. It’s a powerful framework for manufacturers looking to allocate their cybersecurity budget and direct their efforts.
Threat Detection System for Manufacturing
The complexity of high-availability manufacturing networks filled with automated systems, sensors, valves, actuators, logic controls, and computers is far higher than traditional networked systems. Our team builds custom-tailored managed threat detection solutions for manufacturers, built on proactively monitoring and validating potential threats 24/7 around the clock.
Industry 4.0 is a term that describes how new technologies are reshaping traditional industries. It’s a vision of interconnected systems, real-time analytics, and automation working together to revolutionize manufacturing.

Cloud ERP systems has become essential to. It’s no longer just a “nice-to-have,” but increasingly it’s an absolute necessity to coordinate complex supply chains, achieve more agile production, and remain profitable in an increasingly competitive environment.
