Cyber Disaster Recovery Exercises for Electronics Manufacturers
When a cyber break-in occurs, the IT team alone will not be able to respond to the attack. The detection is limited to what is available from the IT and network equipment, as opposed to the normal day-to-day behavior that is available to the IT team. Differences from the normal behavior of the production line can only be detected on the production line. No matter how good the IT system is, if the initial response of the people on the production line is slow, the impact of a cyber incident will be much greater. Today, the electronics manufacturing industry is shifting from China, Europe, and the United States to Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, India, and Thailand. Local education and onsite practice is essential.
In this webinar, participants will learn about exercises and best practices for Business Continuity Disaster Recovery (BCDR). This knowledge will help understand what needs to be accomplished at their local factories.
The weakest link in the supply chain can be a target, as demonstrated by the Japanese auto plant that was forced to shut down due to an attack on a single supplier. By applying the lessons from this webinar, participants will be well-prepared for potential cyber attacks, minimizing the risk to their entire, interconnected supply network and the broader electronics manufacturing industry. It is an action that will not be specified in the requirements of the IPC standard for cybersecurity (IPC-1792), but will be mandatory for implementation. The following topics will be covered:
-Practice Demands
-Recognition of current and goal setting
-Preparation (awareness creation)
-Business Continuity Disaster Recovery (BCDR)
-Characteristics of the factory
-Criteria for detection and judgment (risk extraction method)
-Differentiation between failure and attack
-Process of early recovery
-Guidance for BCDR measures policy (BCDR viewpoints, characteristics of factories, requirements for BCDR)
-Overview of BCDR measures
-Conduct incident response practice
-IPC-1792 and practice
