A smarter, well-funded hacker community means embracing basic, yet daunting cyber challenges.

In manufacturing, regardless of your role, avoiding downtime is an obvious priority, and one of the motivating factors driving investments in cybersecurity.

In working to mitigate potential DDoS attacks or malware drops, manufacturers are tapping into more resources in heightening their awareness of vulnerabilities and the associated remedies, which can include updating access protocols, applying patches and replacing old equipment and technology. 

The problem is that the solutions can actually contribute to the problem you were originally trying to avoid – downtime. 

Our guest for today’s episode looks to offer some solutions. Watch/listen as Gabe Dimeglio, VP of Global Security Services at Rimini Street, a leading provider of data security and managed services, offers his take on:

• Patching strategies that minimize downtime.
• Getting employees engaged in cybersecurity strategies.
• Ensuring buy-in from throughout the enterprise when security measures need to be implemented.
• The evolving nature of hacker skills and the volume of attacks they are able to launch.
• How nation states are developing an institutionalized approach to developing new and better-trained hackers.
• Placing a priority on visibility, inventory and segmentation tools.
• Why he's an advocate of better regulatory efforts, not necessarily more of them.
• The under-utilized resources available to constructing response plans.
