It’s odd that in business, many management teams treat the security of their factories differently to the security of their networks. With IT, there’s often a focus on how individual products will deliver security, but the same isn’t true of physical plant security. Chances are that will have a monitored burglar alarm system that’s service-based. The infrared motion detectors and sirens aren’t the point; it’s the alarm system vendor’s round-the-clock operations centre and hotline that matter. It should be the same with networks. To deliver security, products need to be deployed and managed knowledgeably, and supported by plans that can be rapidly implemented to secure breaches and limit risks. But that can be a tall order for many SME manufacturers’ relatively compact IT teams
