incidents. Additionally, the manufacturing industry experienced a 156 per cent increase in attacks against cloud-based servers compared with the previous year. In the same year, the average cost of a data breach in the manufacturing sector was $4.99 million. Machine builders are already taking a proactive approach toward cyber security to help mitigate the growing risks. This includes implementing security measures such as firewalls, access controls and encryption protocols. Additionally, builders are designing equipment with security in mind from the outset, rather than retroactively adding security features. The importance of cyber security in industrial equipment cannot be overstated. As we continue to rely more heavily on technology, it is crucial that security is prioritised and everyone from original equipment manufacturers to end users take proactive measures to prevent cyber-attacks. By working together, machine builders and cybersecurity experts can help ensure the safety and

ccording to a report by IBM, the industrial manufacturing sector had the second highest number of cyber security incidents in 2020, accounting for 10 per cent of all
Cyber security is becoming increasingly important in the manufacturing industry as the use of technology and connectivity grows. With the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), manufacturers are vulnerable to cyber attacks that can result in data breaches, production disruptions and even physical harm to employees. Here Stephen Hayes, managing director at automation and control technology specialist Beckhoff UK, explores the risks that surround using complex software for automation and how machine builders can mitigate these risks.
reliability of industrial equipment in the face of increased cyber security threats.
SECURE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS Machine builders are now designing industrial equipment with secure communication protocols in mind. This involves using encryption techniques to protect data transmission between equipment and other systems, as well as implementing secure
authentication processes to prevent unauthorised access. TwinCAT provides secure communication protocol in manufacturing by implementing the latest encryption technologies and authentication mechanisms to ensure data confidentiality, integrity and availability. It also supports various industrial communication standards such as OPC UA and MQTT, which are known for their high level of security.
