Cyber Risk & Security Platform

Manufacturing

Secure the systems, people and supply chains that keep manufacturing moving.

Manufacturing doesn’t have a simple technology environment. Your business may depend on corporate IT, production systems, engineering technology, cloud applications, remote access, suppliers, contractors, connected equipment and hundreds or thousands of endpoints — all working together to keep operations moving.

That creates a cyber security challenge that goes beyond protecting laptops and servers.

ConnectProtect brings cyber risk visibility and managed security together, helping manufacturers understand what is exposed, monitor the organisations they depend on, protect endpoints, detect suspicious activity and
identify the vulnerabilities that need attention.

Your manufacturing environment
is bigger than your IT network

Cyber risk doesn’t stop at the firewall. For a modern manufacturer, the environment can include::

Know how you're exposed

The manufacturing cyber security challenges we help you address

Manufacturing security has an additional dimension: operational continuity. A security incident isn’t only an IT problem when technology supports production, logistics, engineering or critical business processes.

Protect production without ignoring cyber risk

Your security approach needs to recognise that operational environments can have different availability, safety and change-management requirements from conventional IT. ConnectProtect provides visibility and security around the wider environment while allowing specialist OT and industrial security controls to remain part of the overall security
architecture.

Choose the right product

Know what is exposed
to the outside world

You cannot protect an asset you don't know is exposed. Internet-facing infrastructure can change as systems aredeployed, suppliers connect, remote access is introduced and services are moved or changed.

ConnectProtect® Horizon

Horizon provides Managed External Attack Surface Management (EASM), giving your organisation an outside-in view of what is visible from the internet.

  • Identify externally visible assets
  • Track changes to the external attack surface
  • Surface potential security issues
  • Prioritise findings for investigation
  • Understand what an external observer can see

Your suppliers are part of your cyber risk

Manufacturers rarely operate alone. You may depend on equipment manufacturers, engineering partners, softwareproviders, maintenance companies, logistics providers, MSPs, contractors and other specialist suppliers. Some mayhave access to your systems or technology environment. Others may provide services that are operationally critical.

ConnectProtect® Realm

Realm provides continuous third-party cyber risk monitoring for selected suppliers and thirdparties, helping maintain visibility between formal reviews.

  • Monitor selected critical suppliers
  • Identify changes in external security posture
  • Prioritise third parties that need attention
  • Support supplier and procurement conversations
  • Add ongoing visibility between periodic assessments
  • Focus monitoring on dependencies that matter most

Protect the people and endpoints inside the business

Manufacturing organisations often have large and distributed endpoint estates. Employees, engineers, administrators, managers and operational teams may all interact with corporate technology from different locations and environments. Your endpoint security therefore needs to do more than install protection. Someone needs to know when something suspicious happens.

ConnectProtect® Core

Core is a combination of security technology and people watching for threats – without your charity having to build its own security operations centre.

Core is managed endpoint security with:

  • Antivirus
  • EDR
  • anti-ransomware protection
  • 24x7x365 human SOC monitoring

Identify vulnerabilities, prioritise them and track progress.

Get more from the security technology you already have

Manufacturers often have an existing security estate. The problem isn't necessarily a lack of technology. It can be the amount of information those technologies generate — and the challenge of understanding what actually matters.

ConnectProtect® Unity

Unity is Managed Detection and Response (MDR) that connects supported security
technologies and adds 24x7x365 managed monitoring, investigation and response.

Where supported, Unity can work with technology already in place rather than forcing unnecessary replacement.
Your people focus on the cause. Security specialists help watch the signals.

Four connected questions for charity cyber security

Good cyber security does not have to mean dozens of disconnected tools. ConnectProtect
brings five complementary capabilities together around questions trustees, leaders and IT
teams should be able to answer.

Cyber security without the enterprise complexity

Manufacturers don’t necessarily need more products. They need better visibility, useful information and people who can help make sense of it.

ConnectProtect combines technology with managed security services to help you see what is exposed, understand who you depend on, protect your endpoints, detect and investigate security activity, and know what needs fixing.

Know what your industry needs.

Pick the right product for your business. With the help of ConnectProtect, we can make cyber security simple and protect you from the threats of today and tomrrow.
