On Tuesday 14th December at 11:15am, MIM Patron OGL will be hosting a Masterclass for members of Made in Group on "Protecting your 'Big Six' from Cyber Crime: Essential Info for Manufacturers".
The OGL Group is the preferred technology partner to over 1,000 UK businesses, including growing and mid-size businesses as well as multi-site enterprises. Over 140 of these UK businesses are manufacturers, many of whom are Made in Group members - demonstrating our capability to support Made members in critical areas of their business.
Chief Technical Officer, Paul Colwell, MIM’s IT & cyber security Patron Partner – will be discussing all things cyber security. It’s a hot topic for Made in Group members right now, as cyber criminals are turning their attention to the manufacturing industry, realising the chaos they can cause (and hefty ransom they can demand) by halting a production line or compromising operational technology.
Paul will explain what the “Big Six” are and why getting cyber security in place to protect them is essential work for business owners and company directors. Plus, hear stories about how we’re already getting numerous Made in Group members on the road to cyber security.
Paul from OGL has over 10 years’ experience in exploiting technology to deliver benefits for business. In recent years, working closely with leading names including HP, Microsoft, WatchGuard, AlienVault, Carbon Black and VMware, he has focused on driving the implementation of cutting-edge cyber security solutions to tackle the growing issue of cyber-crime amongst UK SMBs.
You can expect to find out more about the following topics:
- Protecting your “Big Six” (what are they?)
- Cyber crime in the manufacturing industry (why is it such a hot target for criminals?)
- The road to cyber maturity (we can help…)
- Helping MIM members (real stories!)
These events will also be used as your chance to learn about how you can fully utilize your Made membership. This will entail a 15-minute presentation followed by 30 minutes of breakout discussions.
