Overview

The rapid integration of AI into cyberattacks has created a dizzying crime environment that’s difficult to predict and control, putting manufacturers and the supply chain at greater risk than ever. To combat attacks and regain control of defenses, they must invest not solely in tech-driven defenses, but in the human element of security. With over 25 years of experience, Matt will provide best practices for leaders to implement human-centric practices into their security. Because manufacturers are not only at risk within their own internal structure, but via third-party suppliers and software tools, it’s key that security policies are documented and known to all personnel, no processes or company relationships are abandoned, and an emergency response plan is in place and practiced. Attendees will walk away with an actionable plan for employee training, policy updates and security assessments to prepare for the new wave of attacks they may face.
