Securing the supply chain: A cyber webinar for manufacturers
Warwickshire manufacturers are invited to a webinar on Thursday 4th December (9.30–11am) for a briefing on the real risks affecting factories and supply chains.
The Speaker will be John MacDonald, EBC Group, who has more than 27 years experience of supporting manufacturers.
What attendees will learn:
- People are the first line of defence
- How attackers exploit habits (urgent requests, spoofed suppliers, fake invoices) and what simple behaviours stop most breaches.
- Social engineering, explained
- Real phishing/spear-phishing examples, voice/SMS scams, and quick tests you can run to raise awareness.
- Supply chain attacks
- Where third-party risk creeps in (shared portals, remote access, file shares) and a simple vendor checklist that’s realistic for SMEs.
- OT/IT crossover
- Why production networks (machines, PLCs, HMIs) create different risks, and how to separate, segment and monitor without major disruption.
- Cyber Essentials: what it covers (and what it doesn’t)
- A quick map of basic controls—MFA, patching, backups, access—and where manufacturers typically stumble.
