Siemens, McAfee team up to address industrial cyber security

摘要

When people discuss cybersecurity, the first vision is of covert activity, hacking into systems and NSA-era network intrusions. The real cybersecurity threats are more often the proliferation of handheld and tablet devices over less-secure Internet systems designed to handle not just company data, but also the myriad sites available on the Web. When it comes to manufacturing, both issues deserve attention. A new partnership between one of the world's largest industrial automation companies and one of the most recognized names in network security has been launched to bring attention to both aspects of system and data security for manufacturing.
