Manufacturers are still feeling the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic, with disruption set to proceed well beyond 2022. As such, thought leaders are looking for ways to address the weaknesses in their operations and optimize systems using advanced technologies and, of course, the power of data. Because of the rapidly changing face of market conditions, long-term programs focusing on digital transformation are no longer providing real benefits. Instead, many are turning to shorter-term solutions to make the kind of strides needed in a hypercompetitive marketplace.

Over the past few years, the manufacturing industry has been targeted by cybercriminals — from the well-known SolarWinds hack to the attack on one of the largest meat processing companies in the world. The increasing focus on manufacturers by cybercriminals is down to the industry’s growing reliance on digital tech and their move toward a digital transformation. With more than a third of manufacturers realizing better business value from spending on IT, digitalization is proceeding at warp speed which is both good — and bad.
