Ben Corll, former CISO of a global manufacturing organization and current CISO in Residence at Zscaler, shares his expert perspective on the critical security challenges manufacturers face today and how to overcome them.

 

With threats like ransomware, vulnerable IoT devices, and reliance on third-party vendors, manufacturing organizations are increasingly exposed to cyberattacks. In this exclusive interview, Corll outlines how adopting a Zero Trust approach can mitigate these risks, protect sensitive data, and ensure operational resilience.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

  • Combat Ransomware: Limit lateral movement and protect critical systems with Zero Trust segmentation.
  • Secure Third-Party Access: Tightly control supplier and vendor connections while maintaining fast operations.
  • Enhance AI Security: Safeguard data used in AI-driven workflows through encryption and classification.
  • Improve Visibility: Use continuous monitoring and real-time insights to detect and neutralize threats before they escalate.

     

The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange provides manufacturing organizations with scalable security tailored to complex environments. With granular controls, AI-powered threat detection, and real-time monitoring, it enables manufacturers to protect assets, streamline operations, and embrace innovation—securely and efficiently.
