Great event at the national cyber security center of excellence today it is so important to encourage collaboration and networking in the pursuit of innovation. Congratulations to the NCCoE and NIST for all their efforts and diligence in this.
Faction Networks will be there. If you would like to connect during the event, please contact Geoff Halstead to connect. Or you can also schedule a separate 1:1 Tuesday morning or until Wednesday mid-day.
Manufacturing organizations are increasingly targeted in cyberattacks. As manufacturers continue harnessing computer networking technology to enhance productivity, they also become more vulnerable to cybersecurity threats posed by malicious actors. To help organizations address this challenge, the NCCoE Manufacturing team has worked with industry and stakeholders to generate cybersecurity guidance in the form of NIST 1800-Series Publications and Cybersecurity White Papers. This panel will highlight this new guidance and convene cybersecurity experts to discuss best practices in securing operational technology (OT) in manufacturing environments.
Time: 11:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m. ET
The panel will be followed by a networking lunch, sponsored by Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation, on behalf of Montgomery County, Maryland.
