Cyberattacks on manufacturing automation assets are a growing threat
Manufacturers need to adopt a layered defense approach to mitigate these attacks
This includes risk assessment, employee training, layered defense, incident response planning, monitoring and improvement, supply chain security, and PLC security

Manufacturers should work closely with PLC vendors and cybersecurity experts to fully understand the features, limitations, and best use cases of each PLC
