Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting digital systems and data from unauthorized access or attack.  

For manufacturing, this extends beyond IT to safeguarding Operational Technology (OT), where a cyber attack can cause physical damage, production halts, and supply chain disruption. This is a global issue. As the World Economic Forum (WEF) highlights in its Global Cybersecurity Outlook, international commitments are vital for setting norms and sharing threat intelligence to build a secure ecosystem. No single company or country can manage cyber risk alone.
