Ensuring Strong Cybersecurity for Modern Manufacturing

Secure access to critical systems and data
Secure Sensitive Data
Secure sensitive data wherever it is held
- Secure data on endpoints – Sophos Intercept X with XDR secures your data on Windows, Mac, and virtual machines. Manufacturing data-specific data loss protection rules provide stronger protection and automatic response to incidents.
- Server-specific data protection – Sophos Intercept X for Server provides server-specific protection for on-premises, virtual, and multi-cloud environments. It stops advanced attacks and enables you to quickly identify and address suspicious activity.
- Prevent attacks from reaching your data – Sophos Firewall uses AI-powered threat detection technology to prevent attacks reaching your sensitive data, and other parts of your ecosystem.
- Stop data breaches – Sophos Email encrypts sensitive data, stopping both accidental and malicious data breaches.
- Protect data in lost or stolen devices – Sophos Encryption provides a quick, easy way to ensure Windows and macOS devices are safely encrypted, protecting your data and proving compliance if they’re lost or stolen.
Zero Trust Network Access
Zero trust network access
Manufacturers need to adopt a zero-trust approach of trust nothing; verify everything to secure access to their most critical infrastructure and proprietary information. Sophos’ Zero Trust Network Access continuously validates user identity, device health, and compliance before granting access to applications and data.
Prevent Lateral Movement
Prevent lateral movement
Enable an automated and coordinated response to isolate threats and prevent lateral movement with Sophos’ Synchronized Security feature linking Sophos-managed endpoints with Sophos Firewall. Whether a threat is first detected at your firewall, an endpoint, or server, they all leap into action and work together to provide an automatic response with dynamic firewall rules and lateral movement protection isolating a compromised host to prevent spread, hacker communication, or data loss.
User-based access and controls
User awareness across all areas of the firewall enables user-based policy controls over applications, websites, traffic shaping (QoS), and other network resources regardless of IP address, location, network or device.
User risk visibility
Sophos User Threat Quotient (UTQ) provides actionable intelligence on user behavior with insights into who the riskiest users and applications are to ensure that proper policies are enforced before a security mishap occurs.
Data loss prevention
Protect sensitive data from accidental or malicious disclosure by users with complete policy control over web categories, applications, removable media, and mobile devices.
Ensure availability of manufacturing operations
End-to-end cybersecurity is essential for the delivery of uninterrupted operations.
Secure legacy technology
Legacy or unpatched manufacturing control systems and processes need protection from known vulnerabilities. These devices often run out-of-date operating systems or browsers that can’t be updated because they are no longer supported – yet they need to be connected to the network. Sophos Firewall and SD-RED (remote ethernet device) can help here. By putting a SD-RED in front of the exposed device, it can tunnel all traffic to a protective Sophos Firewall for scanning. If your network is very flat, you will likely need to make a few small changes to IP address schemes and possible switch topology – and our technical specialists can discuss your particular situation and advise how to do this.
