This brings into sharp focus the need for manufacturers to have a cyber security plan in place for such eventualities. Cyber attacks can be hugely detrimental to businesses of all sizes with operational and financial implications. The resulting damage to businesses depends on the nature of the attack and how well placed the business is in both preparing for it and tackling it once it has taken place.
Last year Stephen Phipson CBE, CEO, Make UK, gave advice on how you can help protect your business in our Manufacturing Focus series - Watch the video HERE
As part of our new product development, we’re conducting a pilot project with Vauban Group, our Cyber Security Partner, to help us develop cyber security services which specifically meet the needs of the manufacturing community. We’re offering members a free cyber security assessment to identify specific risks to your organisation with a report and advice on how to mitigate those risks. If you’d like to take part in the pilot, please contact Sarah Stein sstein@makeuk.org
Read more about how you can protect your business on the Make UK website HERE including how Make UK members can undertake a risk assessment through Howden, a Make UK partner.
