Manufacturing is now the #1 target for hackers. Smart, connected devices on the plant floor are high-value cyberattack targets because of the intellectual property they contain — and just one day of downtime can cost millions.

In this episode, Executive Editor Theresa Houck talks with Richard Springer, Director of Marketing, OT Solutions at Fortinet, about findings of its revealing study, “Advancing Digital Transformation in a Time of Unprecedented Cybersecurity Risk,” developed in collaboration with the Manufacturers Alliance Foundation.

They discuss key takeaways, cybersecurity trends, and lessons that can help manufacturers fortify their cybersecurity efforts. Also learn how IT/OT collaboration is a key to finding mutual goals that balance security and operational priorities. And discover what the U.S. SEC has to do with cyberattack reporting.

And as always, get your family-friendly, silly Joke of the Day.
