Webinar
Protecting Manufacturing Uptime
As manufacturing environments become increasingly connected, operational technology (OT) is no longer isolated from cyber risk. The convergence of IT and OT, expanded supply chains, and remote third-party access have introduced new attack paths that directly threaten uptime, safety, and production continuity.
Discover how a Zero Trust approach can help manufacturers protect uptime by controlling privileged and remote access across IT and OT environments without disrupting operations or productivity.

Protecting Manufacturing Uptime from Supply Chain Attacks
As manufacturing environments continue to digitalize, Operational Technology (OT) has become an increasingly attractive target for cyber attackers. Once considered isolated, OT systems are now tightly connected to IT networks, supply chains, and third-party vendors—expanding the attack surface and raising the stakes for uptime, safety, and business continuity.
Join Safous for an in-depth webinar that breaks down the fundamentals of OT security. We’ll start by demystifying what OT really is, how it differs from IT, and why traditional IT-centric security approaches fall short in industrial environments. From there, we’ll explore real-world manufacturing and supply-chain attack scenarios, including the growing risks introduced by remote maintenance and third-party vendor access.
Through practical insights and customer case studies, this session will highlight where organizations should realistically begin their OT security journey and how a Zero Trust approach to privileged and remote access can help protect critical operations without disrupting production.
Who Should Attend?
- Manufacturing leaders responsible for uptime, safety, and operational continuity
- IT & OT practitioners managing converged environments and industrial networks
