UPFRONT A Letter from the Editor
A call to action on cyber defense
(p. 33), I asked this open-ended ques- tion: What is the biggest impediment to the shift to smart manufacturing? “Cybersecurity is one of the major
W
threats,” Zühlke, one of the fathers of Industrie 4.0, said without hesitation. “We just experienced an external hacker attack on the German inter- net where up to one-half of the con- nections were blocked. This makes it clear that even big and well-known telecom companies are not fully pre- pared for what can happen.” Zühlke suggested manufacturers in the US think about the costs they would incur if hacking suddenly halted production for two days. “Or, even much worse, what will happen if the recipe of, let’s say, a pharmaceutical

product is changed and the change is not recognized? This would be a disaster for the company.” Two days before the Deutsche
Telekom incident, cybercriminals hacked workstations at the San Fran- cisco Municipal Transport Agency. That November attack involved
ransomware—one of the main chal- lenges discussed in this issue’s cover story on cyber defense. Ransomware’s use is growing across all sectors, including manufacturing, Amelia Est- wick of the National Cybersecurity In- stitute at Excelsior College told Smart Manufacturing just after the attack. At an industry conference in Dallas
last April, Mark Weatherford declared that the “year of ransomware” was upon us. In this issue, the vArmour exec says manufacturers skimp on cy- ber defense, in part because they do

not face a cybersecurity compliance requirement similar to what electric utilities face in the US. The time to act is now: Organized crime has taken to ransomware, and manufacturers are sitting ducks, industrial cybersecurity expert Ralph Langner warns (p. 26). Any manufacturing executive wait-
ing for non-compliance fines to justify increased cyber defense spending in the next four years will wait in vain. Public policy experts who cham- pion smart manufacturing have given Donald Trump a lot of advice (p. 28). But cyber defense is notably absent. And while the Trump administra- tion has hinted it might prod the pri- vate sector to spend more on cyber- security tools, services and software, it is unlikely to promote a cybersecu- rity compliance requirement.
