NIS2 is raising the bar for cybersecurity across Europe. Chris Whyborn explores what organisations need to do to strengthen cyber resilience, address supply chain risks and build a robust compliance framework.
NEW RESEARCH from Make UK shows nearly one in three manufacturers have been hit by cyber incidents directly or through their supply chain, with disruption increasingly affecting production, costs and customer delivery.
LEADER IN industrial communications and networking, Moxa, has announced IEC-62443-4-2 Security Level 2 (SL2) certification under the International Electrotechnical Commission for Electrical Equipment (IECEE) Certification Body Scheme for its UC Series 64-bit Arm-based computers that run Moxa Industrial Linux 4 (MIL4) Secure OS.
RISKS AND threats to operational technology (OT) in industrial facilities aren't just growing in number. They are also becoming increasingly sophisticated.
ROCKWELL AUTOMATION has launched three enhanced offerings within the SecureOT solution suite – OT Cybersecurity Assessment Suite, SecureOT Platform Managed Services and Managed Secure Remote Access (MSRA).
Nearly a third of organisations are policing OT environments with IT cybersecurity tools never built for industrial systems. The resulting visibility gap is leaving plants and production lines exposed
AVEVA, SCHNEIDER Electric, and Heriot-Watt University have announced a new collaboration to explore how digital technologies can accelerate the development of smarter, lower-carbon infrastructure systems across energy and transport.
SolutionsPT, AVEVA Select Partner UK and Ireland, has announced the return of its annual Cyber SecureOT conference for 2026. Held over two dates in both the UK and Ireland, this year’s theme ‘Turning Compliance into Resilience’ will focus on helping industrial organisations navigate the recent changes in cyber security regulations and standards while protecting operational technology (OT) environments against evolving cyber threats.
Carl Henriksen explains why OT visibility is becoming a security and engineering challenge, and how getting it wrong can compromise both cyber resilience and operational continuity
Operational Technology (OT) cyber security has become a critical priority for manufacturers as production environments become increasingly connected and data-driven. From automated machinery and robotics to industrial control systems and smart sensors, modern factories rely on interconnected technologies to maintain efficiency, productivity, and quality. However, this connectivity also increases exposure to cyber threats that can disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and impact supply chains. As manufacturers continue to embrace digital transformation, robust OT cyber security is essential to protect critical infrastructure, ensure operational resilience, and maintain business continuity in an evolving threat landscape.
