This innovative Summit comes at a critical juncture for American manufacturers, who are suffering heavy losses from cyber attacks at unprecedented levels. A 2016 report, Cyber Risk in Advanced Manufacturing, co-authored by MAPI and Deloitte, indicated that 39% of survey respondents had experienced a cyber breach in the last 12 months, 40% of whom had suffered losses of between $1-10m+. 1 in 3 respondents to a separate 2017 survey revealed that they had never conducted a cyber risk assessment on any of the connected devices on their factory floors.
Event Director, Kudsia Kaker, commented: "American manufacturing is at a crisis point. Whether it be theft of intellectual property, financial crime, WannaCry-style ransomware or phishing emails, attacks have never been more frequent or damaging. Big players in the industry are sharpening the tools in their arsenal to protect themselves against cybercrime, but what's crucial is that these measures aren't seen as exclusive to the likes of Fortune 500 companies, but relevant to manufacturers of any size. ManuSec provides a unique platform to get in better digital shape with your peers to fight these threats."
The Qatalyst team are currently accepting speaker submissions around the following topic areas, although original ideas are most welcome and encouraged:
• Implications of GDPR and the NIST Framework
• IT/OT Convergence
• How to secure the IoT
• Managing supply chain vulnerabilities
• Insider Threats
• Optimizing operation through digital innovation
