Cybersecurity Resources for Manufacturers

Share

Manufacturers increasingly rely on data, information, and technologies to run their operations. Defending these assets from disclosure, modification, disruption, or improper use is a challenging but critical aspect of operating a business. With competing priorities and limited resources, manufacturers need guidance, solutions, and training that is practical, actionable, cost effective, and ultimately helps them manage their cybersecurity and privacy risks.

I really appreciate all Mac has done for the project and would highly recommend to others that they utilize him. Never once did he make me feel stupid for asking questions that he may have already answered in a previous conversation or when I made a wrong statement. For me, he has made the process a lot easier and less stressful.

Heroes of American Manufacturing: L&H Industrial
Heroes of American Manufacturing: L&H Industrial
We are excited to tell the story of L&H Industrial, a client of Manufacturing Works, the Wyoming MEP. L&H Industrial is a leader in technology innovations, custom manufacturing, and comprehensive services for heavy industrial machinery used in mining, oil and gas, railways, and other industries. One of the most innovative and culturally rich companies in Wyoming, they possess an outstanding culture that prioritizes customer and employee satisfaction while constantly seeking ways to improve themselves and the community. Upon assessment of L&H’s cyber needs, Manufacturing Works linked L&H with 4th State Communications, a Wyoming-based cyber expert with an abundance of knowledge relating to Department of Defense contracts and government policy. After the initial cyber class, L&H worked to document and solidify its internal cyber standards.
