In this episode of our “Automation Chat” podcast from The Journal From Rockwell Automation and Our PartnerNetwork magazine, Executive Editor Theresa Houck chats with Brian Deken, North America Commercial Manager of Networks & Cybersecurity Services at Rockwell Automation. They talk about cybersecurity challenges and outcomes manufacturers are trying to achieve and how to attain them.

Also learn why it’s vital to do cybersecurity assessments in real time and why you can’t integrate and optimize an IT tool for an OT environment. And see how Rockwell Automation provides IT/OT synergies through its partner ecosystem and uses the NIST-based approach to help manufacturers to focus resources for cybersecurity.

And as always, get your family-friendly, silly Joke of the Day.
