How Manufacturers Can Maintain Production Line Integrity in the Face of Cyber-Physical Attack is the title of a webinar for manufacturers around the world as cyberattack incidents targeting operational technology and industrial control systems continue to rise at an exponential rate.
The webinar, scheduled for September 7, 2023 at 3:00 PM South African Standard Time, is ideal for plant managers, OT engineers, IT security leaders, and other manufacturing cybersecurity professionals who must prepare now against imminent cyber-physical attacks.

Attendees are expected to learn pragmatic steps to:
- Achieve deep visibility across operational technology (OT) networks
- Implement microsegmentation to thwart lateral movement
- Shield unpatched legacy equipment from attacks, and
- Develop robust incident response capabilities
The threat landscape is intensifying daily, with organised crime & ransomware groups, nation-state actors, and other malicious groups setting their sights on vulnerable factory floor environments. Attackers are actively exploiting manufacturers’ cybersecurity’s vulnerability, threatening mass disruption to production lines.

Through this meeting organised by Cybersplice, experts are expected to provide action plans and tool demos to help manufacturers detect threats early, manage vulnerabilities, and to take charge of inherent cyber-physical exposures.
“Manufacturers can no longer ignore the unmanaged evolution of converged IT and OT networks, or trust in IT-focused or legacy approaches to protect against modern threats,” says Cybersplice CEO, Marais Coetzee. “This webinar will equip manufacturers with strategies and technologies to lock down their most critical systems before it’s too late.”
Interested participants can register for the webinar online.
