Cybersecurity in defense manufacturing: Protecting connected production systems

Defense manufacturers operate at the intersection of national security and industrial complexity. Cybersecurity in this environment is not an IT concern – it is a mission-critical operational imperative that demands a fundamentally different approach. Understanding both the IT and OT worlds is crucial for enabling rapid ramp-up and scale-up in new factories with innovative cybersecurity concepts, as well as in existing plants with legacy OT systems.
