Security

The security pillar focuses on the ability to protect information, systems, and assets through risk assessments and mitigation strategies, while also delivering business value to the organization. In addition to the regulations that apply to most businesses, the manufacturing industry is challenged with industry-specific requirements such as frequently changing regulations and their variation by Region. Institutions that operate in more than one country or Region must also meet different requirements in different places. Manufacturing data systems are historically a frequent target of security incidents, both because of the assets they maintain and their fundamental role in the daily functioning of a modern society. The data mechanisms must comply with rules and laws around the protection of personal and regulatory information. The continuity of their operations depends directly on the security resilience they put in place.
