Secure networking for Manufacturing 4.0
Industry 4.0 converges new technologies spanning a variety of networks. Protect this expanded attack surface with secure virtualized networking from OpenVPN.
Industrial revolution, meet safer digital transformation.
The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, has pushed manufacturing companies to greater digital transformation and a digital revolution — and with that comes an expanded attack surface and increase in cyberattacks.
The manufacturing industry's embrace of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has changed factories as we once knew them, infusing manufacturing technologies with automation and data exchange. These technologies include cloud computing and cognitive computing, as well as an extended network of connected devices, such as robotics, sensors, 3D printers, AI, machine learning, and augmented reality (AR). Each of these technologies presents an entry point for bad actors to infiltrate the network and infect other devices, giving security teams new challenges that once didn’t exist on the factory floor.
