Every 39 seconds!

On average, there is a cyberattack every 39 seconds. That’s 2,244 attacks a day. The effects of which can either bring a company down or bring them together to become stronger than ever.

Pilz was hit with a ransomware cyberattack on October 13, 2019. Pilz chose not to comply with the attacker’s demands because doing so would have rewarded their efforts and financed additional attacks on others. More importantly, Pilz chose to stand strong to guarantee their data and the data of their customers wasn’t further compromised, potentially leaving them vulnerable to future attacks.

Learn how Pilz not only survived the attack, but is coming back stronger than ever. Learn what you can do to help make your company stronger in any crisis.

Materials and examples presented on:

• The role of corporate culture
• Communication – who, what, when and why
• Gaining customer and supplier support
• Encouraging and fostering a creative atmosphere among employees
• Turning a negative into a positive

You know safety and health requirements for your workplace.  You know how to keep your employees safe.  But do you know what happens when OSHA knocks and demands to investigate your workplace for alleged OSHA infractions?  Do you know what OSHA can and can’t do, what your rights are, and what happens if OSHA issues you citations?  As safety professionals, you have probably heard a lot about OSHA inspections and the litigation process from colleagues, from newspapers, and maybe even from OSHA.  But in this era of “fake news,” is what you’ve heard true, or is it myth?

This webinar will explore the 10 biggest and most common myths surrounding the OSHA investigation and litigation process so that if OSHA knocks, you know what to do.

We know that rules and regulations along with policies and procedures are essential for running an efficient, productive, and safe organization. But, when was the last time a rule policy reminded someone that their child was waiting for them to get home? Or, when has a procedure brought to mind images of what it would be like to deliver devastating news to the spouse of someone injured on the job?

Research shows that policies alone are not enough to change behavior and transform a safety culture.

The affective approach uses feelings and emotion to engage people and remind your workforce WHY it is important to follow policies, procedures, rules and regulations. In this dynamic interview, Craig Sexton, Global Creative Director for DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS), will explain how you can use affective communication to help enhance safety communications, engage employees, and lead to safer behaviors. You’ll learn about the key elements that leaders can utilize to authentically inspire and influence employees to take fewer risks and own their safety.

By better understanding human motivational factors and their impact on leadership and the decision-making process, you’ll discover how you can reach employees’ hearts and minds to change behavior and enrich safety culture.

In today’s connected world, manufacturers are embracing automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for competitive advantage.  The merging of the cyber and physical worlds means improved efficiency, but it also means exposing your critical manufacturing infrastructure to cyber risk. In fact, according to an independent ICS study, nearly 6 in 10 organizations using SCADA or ICS industrial control systems have experienced a breach in those systems in the past year.

From IP-related tasks such as research, design and prototyping through to connected processes such as production, distribution and delivery, legacy and modern manufacturing systems – once protected by an air gap – are now connected to the network.  The need for end-to-end security is greater than ever.

Listen in to this lively discussion from a panel cybersecurity experts and thought leaders as they break down the top trends impacting today’s manufacturers security strategy, including IT and OT convergence, connected intelligent manufacturing and workforce dynamics.

In light of Industry 4.0, we’ll examine three key ingredients needed in your cybersecurity strategy – visibility, control, and situational awareness – and their impact on the future of digital manufacturing.
