Additive manufacturing is having an extraordinary impact on the way many products are manufactured. Realizing the full potential of AM requires re-thinking traditional approaches to design and automation - which enables new business models - but is also disrupting supply chain players. This exciting potential for industry is also accompanied by potential for hackers who are actively looking to exploit these advancements. Effectively securing the integrity of AM processes is now absolutely crucial, and data protection for 3D printed files is becoming extremely important.
This session will discuss specific use cases in Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing (Distributed Digital Manufacturing, Integrity/Traceability of the Digital Thread) from the perspective of an experienced hacker, and provide pragmatic strategies to mitigate cyber threats by thwarting the hacker 'business model'. The session will also discuss real-world exploits and mitigated as examples of how a 'common sense' approach to cybersecurity can be used to open new manufacturing business models.
Learning Objectives- Understand a cybersecurity methodology for Additive / Subtractive Manufacturing based upon thwarting the hacker 'business model'
- Understand a pragmatic approach of applying cybersecurity to address relevant quality control issues and repeatability in Distributed Digital Manufacturing models
- Understand how specific cybersecurity strategies can be used practically to open new business models and provide tangible competitive advantages
