What You’ll Learn
When a plant stops, it rarely matters whether the cause was a cut circuit, a failed switch or ransomware: production waits until systems are back. This briefing helps you put your own number on that risk with a margin-based downtime worksheet, then work through nine recovery checks, a comparison of plant-floor and site connectivity options, a checklist for the copper phone lines behind alarms and elevators, ten questions to put to providers, and a 90-day plan. It draws on research from Siemens, IBM X-Force, Dragos, Sophos, Deloitte and the FCC, with lessons from the Signed podcast. Analysis, worksheet and buyer guidance by ITBroker.com.
