Who are the Top SD-WAN Manufacturing Vendors and how can their SD-WAN services benefit manufacturers?

What SD-WAN Vendor Should UK Manufacturers Choose?

The manufacturing sector faces many networking challenges, including high reliability and uptime requirements, integrations with legacy systems, support for geographically dispersed locations and ensuring strict security is enforced. As network downtime can lead to financial loss, halts in production and disruptions to supply chains, it is essential for manufacturers to find a network solution to prevent potential issues. The best solution for this is Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN

How SD-WAN Supports Manufacturing Factory Automation

How SD-WAN Supports Manufacturing Factory Automation

SD-WAN enhances factory automation by improving network reliability, reducing latency, and securing real-time communication between machines and sensors. Since their inception, manufacturers have striven to automate their factories wherever possible, improving the efficiency, productivity and quality of production lines. Whilst in the early 1800s automation came from punched cards, used for complex pattern weaving, in the modern-day manufacturers are equipped with a vast array of computerised p

Choosing SD-WAN for Manufacturing: OT, IoT & Multi-Site Considerations

Choosing SD-WAN for Manufacturing: OT, IoT & Multi-Site Considerations

When choosing SD-WAN for manufacturing, consider performance, reliability, security, scalability, and compatibility with legacy systems to ensure seamless, cost-effective, and secure network management. The manufacturing sector faces many networking challenges, including high reliability and uptime requirements, integrations with legacy systems, support for geographically dispersed locations and ensuring strict security is enforced. As network downtime can lead to financial loss, halts in produ

How SD-WAN Improves Operational Efficiency Across Manufacturing Sites

How SD-WAN Improves Operational Efficiency Across Manufacturing Sites

SD-WAN improves manufacturing efficiency by optimising network performance, reducing downtime and enhancing security. Arguably the greatest determinant for how successful a manufacturer can be, is their optimisation of operational efficiencies. Improving operational processes leads to greater speeds, reductions in workforce requirements and, ultimately, increased profits for the business. One less obvious way of improving the efficiency of operations is to improve network performance, as with a

Manufacturing Compliance & SD-WAN: IEC 62443, NIS2 & Regulatory Guide

Manufacturing Compliance & SD-WAN: IEC 62443, NIS2 & Regulatory Guide

SD-WAN helps manufacturers navigate complex compliance regulations by improving network security, enabling data segmentation, and supporting real-time monitoring. With the ever-growing quantity of regulations faced, manufacturers are beginning to question the best routes to achieve compliance. One innovation that can be key to manufacturers compliance strategy is Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions. Manufacturers are becoming more digitised, meeting industry demands by utilis

Key SD-WAN Features for Manufacturers: Segmentation, ZTNA & WAN Optimisation

Key SD-WAN Features for Manufacturers: Segmentation, ZTNA & WAN Optimisation

SD-WAN benefits manufacturers by enhancing network reliability, reducing downtime, and improving security with Zero Trust Architecture (ZTNA). It simplifies deployment, scales operations, and optimises performance. Manufacturing businesses are switching from traditional Wide Area Networks (WAN) to Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN) with the incentive of decreasing network downtime, improving security and enabling greater agility and scalability for operations. SD-WAN mitigates many of

What are top Cybersecurity threats in the Manufacturing sector?

What are top Cybersecurity threats in the Manufacturing sector?

Manufacturers face threats such as ransomware, IoT exploits, supply chain attacks and DDoS. To mitigate these threats, manufacturers should implement segmentation and privileged access management. From a cybersecurity point of view, 2021 has been a turbulent year in the U.S. manufacturing sector. Besides dealing with the pandemic and related supply chain woes, malicious actors are showing a talent for more powerful and sophisticated cyberattacks. And they’re aiming those talents at U.S. manufac

10 Questions for the Manufacturing sector when comparing cybersecurity

10 Questions for the Manufacturing sector when comparing cybersecurity

The 10 questions for manufacturers to ask when comparing cybersecurity solutions are: 1. Do you have full visibility across your organisation’s technology and site real estate? 2. Have you carried out a risk assessment across your supply chain? 3. Who needs privileged access and under what conditions? 4. What data protection regulations do you need to adhere to? 5. Would a Third-Party Risk Management Program (TPRM) add value to your compliance mapping? 6. Does the SD WAN under e

What the manufacturing sector should know about Cybersecurity

What the manufacturing sector should know about Cybersecurity

Manufacturers face threats such as ransomware, IoT exploits and supply chain vulnerabilities. Manufacturing has been at the forefront of the technological revolution that has given the world Industry 4.0: From Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to the merger of OT and IT (operational technology and information technology), the interface and network of manufacturing have changed beyond recognition. The result of this digital transformation in the sector
