NCCoE Manufacturing

Event Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2024

Description: 

Join us on May 21, 2024, for an NCCoE panel discussion and networking lunch!

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 addressing 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.​

The panel will be followed by a networking lunch, sponsored by Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation, on behalf of Montgomery County, Maryland.
