FEATURE: MANUFACTURING SECURITY
AS EMPLOYEES GET UP TO SPEED ON CYBER
SECURITY, AN INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN SHOULD
ALSO BE IN PLACE. THIS PLAN SHOULD BE ONGOING
AND CONTINUOUSLY TESTED, FOR MAXIMUM
EFFECTIVENESS WHEN AN INCIDENT DOES OCCUR
AND ORGANISATIONS HAVE TO RESPOND
For this reason, it’s recommended
that organisations take a KPI (Key
Performance Indicator) perspective to
cyber security, by setting goals and
metrics to improve security stature.

Manufacturing companies should
have an ongoing, metrics-based
intelligence-driven security program in
place to evaluate the effectiveness of
common programs, like vulnerability
management, data loss prevention
and antivirus protection.
With these metrics in place, organisations
can develop a heat map of sorts, to outline
where they should be focusing their efforts
and/or where they should continue to invest
in protecting their most sensitive assets.
This security snapshot will assist in
keeping every aspect of a business
secure & prepared, making it that
much more difficult for even the most
sophisticated hacker to take off with a
manufacturer’s crown jewels.
