As manufacturing increasingly relies on automation and interconnected systems, the security of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is becoming more critical than ever. A breach in ICS can result in significant downtime, safety hazards, and substantial financial losses. Given the evolving sophistication of cybercriminals, advanced security solutions are essential to protect critical infrastructure. PrivX offers powerful tools to enhance ICS security, ensuring safe and compliant operations in the manufacturing sector.

Fifteen years ago, the concept of a “computer” was much simpler—limited to desktops, basic mobile phones, and other standard devices. Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) has drastically expanded that definition, embedding processing power and data storage in everything from smartphones to smart vehicles. However, this evolution has also introduced new security challenges. Unlike traditional IT devices, Industrial IoT (IIoT) hardware is designed to endure harsh environments, making data destruction more critical. As these devices store valuable data, robust data destruction methods must be employed to prevent unauthorized access.

How you define insider threat is critical, because how the problem is defined will drive how you define and implement the solution.
