Hi, I'm Nicole Bulanda from Rockwell Automation. Thanks for joining us for the
on-demand experience. I'm here in our cyber security operations center. And I'm joined by
Vicki Bruce to talk about some of the great things that we're doing with cybersecurity
Vicky. Can you share why this is so important?
Yes. Definitely. Thank you very much, Nicole. So a little bit about cyber security and why
it's so important in the OT industry is that manufacturing faces attacks more than any
other industry that is because of Legacy infrastructure.
Really critical so when it's on prem that really means that
there might be things out there that haven't been addressed lately.
I also think the OTS a little bit different than some other areas where cyber security is
present. And that's really because of the impact that an attack in the OT space could
have it could affect equipment and be dangerous. It could affect the environment or
worse. It could affect people. So this very serious physical impact that
happens and kind of that OT Space is really what we're
building our Solutions around ensuring that everyone and everything stays safe. I've
got it and I mean, I feel like every time we see the news there's some other story about
some terrible thing that has happened and you know more and more in the OT space and
impacting companies that are really important to us on a day-to-day basis.
How is Rockwell helping? Yeah, well to mention like you did about the
stories that you see in the news just to highlight a few of what we've seen recently
is that there has been instances where food manufacturers. So in the food and beverage
business get impacted and the outcome of that is that if they're stoppages then the store
shelves are empty or worse. Critical infrastructure Like Water waste water damages
other energy type of Damages that happen
from attacks that we've seen recently. So the way that Rockwell is really approaching this
is around our before during and after attack model. So here we're in our CSOC Center. So
this is really highlighting what Rockwell can do during an attack. So we have a 24 by 7
managed service where we're able to provide constant, Lookout and Reporting and
monitoring support anything that's needed around threat detection. So That's some of
our during an attack but it's also important to note that there's things to do
before an attack. And that's where we talked about risk assessment and also
with our new acquisition of verve, we're really able to help build that plan get a
risk management strategy for companies in place before an attack even happens
should something happen. We also have an incident response offering on the back end.
So that's more about the recovery process that goes into place but starting up front
just a basic understanding of what's out there that work assessments. What should our
Be that more consultative approach is also where we serve but looking at the entire
spectrum of an attack. Thank you so much Vicki for sharing what's
going on here in the cyber security operations center. This has been a very busy
area of the show floor. It really has been so we've had a great
turnout and a lot of people interested and a lot of people who do want to know like what
should I do next? And what should I be looking at and we're here to help. Thanks,
Vicky.
