Your Factory Is Wide Open: How to Lock Down Connected Machines Before It’s Too Late

Legacy machines were never designed to be connected—or protected. But in modern manufacturing, connectivity is a must. So how do you protect your business when the shop floor is now on the network?

In this episode, Justin talks with Tory Bjorklund, manufacturing consultant and author of Digital Transformation Guidebook, about the surprising ways attackers exploit connected machines, what most companies still get wrong, and how to secure industrial systems without breaking your operations.

In this episode:

  • Why shop floor devices are a cybersecurity risk
  • The threat of PLCs, HMIs, and remote access
  • How one-way data flows can prevent ransomware
  • Using segmentation, firewalls, and MFA to keep attackers out
  • What AI can (and can’t) do for modern manufacturers
