How cybersecurity can benefit SMMs in manufacturing

Cybersecurity risks are almost unavoidable in a manufacturing environment, where data is frequently shared.    Manufacturers may not realize how much potentially sensitive data is included every day in invoices, emails, websites, and in the cloud. In today's digital age, cybersecurity offers benefits beyond compliance and risk mitigation; it's a strategic opportunity. By investing in appropriate security measures, small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) can gain a competitive edge and attract more customers.   Existing operational foundations SMMs can build on may include: ✅ National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework ✅ ISO 9001 ✅ ISO 27001/27002/27701 Learn more in this GlobalSpec article from Dr. Michael Barker, D.Sc., CISSP, CISA, LPI, Principal Project Manager for Cybersecurity at Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership (GaMEP) at Georgia Tech: https://lnkd.in/euXqq7Vv   #Cybersecurity #MEPNationalNetwork #NIST #Manufacturing
