The industrial sector is one of the largest, most diverse and changing segments of the global economy. It is also one of the main targets for cybercriminals. Industrial sites and factories continue to transform and digitize, which means that more and more critical assets and infrastructure are being connected to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This has raised security concerns about operational technology (OT) in manufacturing, which is increasingly at risk.

Companies need to measure performance in all areas of operations to check whether they are proving cost-effective and achieving the desired results.
