Cybersecurity in manufacturing
Seminar on Cybersecurity in Manufacturing
The seminar is offered exclusively in German.
The seminar ‘Cybersecurity in Manufacturing’ covers the fundamentals of secure and resilient digital manufacturing. It focuses on how companies can protect their machinery, plant, data and production processes against growing cyber risks. With the ongoing digitalisation and networking of production systems, cybersecurity is becoming a crucial factor for availability, quality and competitiveness.
Participants will gain a practical understanding of typical threats in the manufacturing industry, as well as the technical, organisational and regulatory requirements of modern cybersecurity. Particular attention will be paid to the increasing convergence of IT and OT (Operational Technology).
