When cyberattacks occur in manufacturing environments, traditional business continuity and disaster recovery plans often show their gaps. Because recovery is rarely designed to consider the lack of trust after a cyber event, critical production dependencies suddenly become visible, control systems fail, and supply chain communications break down, causing Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) to stretch from hours into weeks. For manufacturing organizations, this means production stoppages, missed delivery deadlines, damaged equipment, and potentially compromised worker safety. A Minimum Viable Factory (MVF) strategy focuses on moving to a production and supply chain-focused approach to cyber recovery. Through deeper investigation of critical manufacturing processes, IT and OT Security teams can better partner with production managers and plant operations to identify the essential functions and systems that ensure a cyberattack remains a contained incident, rather than a catastrophic shutdown.

Join this webinar to explore key insights, including:

1. Defining the essential manufacturing processes that keep your production lines operational and your supply chain intact.

2. Understanding the difference between creating a Minimum Viable Factory (MVF) and traditional Business Continuity Management/Disaster Recovery (BCM/DR) approaches for manufacturing environments.

3. Learning three practical steps you can take to start building your own MVF with particular attention to securing the IT backbone of your operational technology (OT) environments.

4. Examining real-world examples and lessons learned from successfully implementing MVF strategies in various manufacturing sectors.
