Join Made Smarter and Punk Security for an exciting and eye-opening Cyber Hack Attack Demo.

Cybersecurity is a hot topic in manufacturing.

In recent years, the news has been full of big-name businesses suffering cyber-attacks. With the likes of Jaguar Land Rover and Marks & Spencer’s hitting headlines after large scale breaches.

Manufacturing cyber security isn’t only about data — it’s about protecting operations, safety, and customer trust. As more equipment is connected the risk increases. Good cyber security reduces downtime, protects designs and customer info, and increasingly helps you win work in supply chains that demand it.

What is a Hack Attack?
Experts will walk you through an engaging, live demonstration of a cyber attack scenario as it progresses, bringing to life and demystifying cyber threats in a way that’s easy to understand, actionable, and relevant for every organisation.
The team will discuss actual attacks that have happened to businesses in our area and demonstrate ways in which you can protect your business, giving you valuable insights into the ever-evolving world of digital security.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to learn about the latest cyber threats and how to protect yourself and your manufacturing business.
