Business interruption, including supply chain disruption and cyber incidents (e.g. cyber crime, data breach, IT failure) are top risks for all manufacturers. The growing reliance on automation, big data, and IoT have elevated the importance of cybersecurity. In fact, 92% of manufacturers cited cybersecurity concerns in their SEC disclosures in 2016. In addition, manufacturers' clients are assessing their own supply chain risk and are requiring assurance from business partners regarding the quality of cybersecurity controls. This session will provide an overview of the cybersecurity threat landscape facing manufacturers, tips on managing risk, insights for gaining executive sponsorship and implementing a cybersecurity initiative, and assurance about cybersecurity preparedness. Tom Pentek, Group Senior Manager-Cybersecurity, from Techtronic Industries will also provide firsthand insight on lessons learned from his journey to gain support from business executives to develop a culture of cybersecurity awareness at a global manufacturing company. 3:15PM Introduction to Robotics Eric Kraus | Automation Specialist, DOIG Corporation This session will be an introduction to Robots in Manufacturing for the Executive that needs the basics, but is contemplating the use of robotic automation in their business.
