FAQs
Data protection is critical in manufacturing to safeguard sensitive intellectual property, operational data, and customer information from cyber threats, industrial espionage, and unauthorized access. Protecting this data ensures business continuity, maintains competitive advantage, and helps avoid significant financial and reputational damage from data breaches or cyberattacks.
Manufacturing faces various cyber threats, including ransomware attacks that disrupt production, intellectual property theft, supply chain attacks, and malware targeting operational technology (OT) systems. These threats aim to exploit vulnerabilities in interconnected systems, leading to downtime, data loss, and compromise of industrial control systems (ICS).
Verizon secures industrial IoT data through a multi-layered approach, leveraging our secure 5G network, 5G Edge computing, and advanced security solutions. This includes encrypting data in transit and at rest, implementing strong authentication protocols for IoT devices, and providing real-time threat detection and monitoring to protect the integrity and privacy of your industrial data.
Operational Technology (OT) security solutions are designed to protect the hardware and software that monitor and control physical processes in manufacturing environments, such as SCADA systems and PLCs. They are crucial because compromising OT can lead to physical damage, production halts, and safety hazards, making their cybersecurity posture vital for continuous and safe operations.
Manufacturing businesses can ensure data privacy compliance by implementing robust data governance frameworks, adhering to regulations like GDPR or CCPA, and conducting regular privacy impact assessments. This involves classifying sensitive data, controlling access, ensuring secure data handling practices, and maintaining transparency about data processing, often supported by specialized compliance management and privacy solutions.
