Securing the Supply Chain: AI and Cyber Risk in Manufacturing
How AI is reshaping cyber risk in manufacturing, and what businesses can do about it
Watch NowThis session formed part of our monthly thought leadership webinar series, where we bring together industry experts to explore the challenges shaping manufacturing today. Manufacturers are becoming increasingly connected through ERP systems, cloud platforms, EDI, suppliers and connected production environments. While this connectivity creates opportunities for automation, efficiency and better decision-making, it also introduces new areas of cyber risk.
In this recording, Chris Woods, CEO of CyberQ Group, and Rohit Thakral, CEO of Target Integration, discuss how AI is reshaping cyber threats, why cyber security is now a manufacturing issue rather than just an IT concern, and how AI-enabled ERP can strengthen resilience across connected operations.
