New cyber threats are hitting smart factories hard, with critical vulnerabilities found in major automation systems from Mitsubishi Electric and Rockwell Automation. These issues could allow attackers to take over factory controls, mess with data, or even cause devices to crash. If your business relies on factory automation, it’s important to take action. Recent alerts from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reveal that these security flaws could impact everything from production to sensitive data integrity.
