🔐 As a manufacturing institute focused on solving critical manufacturing challenges, we are mission-driven to enable adoption of cyber secure digital manufacturing practices for small- to medium-sized #manufacturers (SMMs) and organizations across the sector. Our survey, Behind the Firewall: Assessing #Cyber Resilience in U.S. Manufacturing revealed that nearly half (47%) of SMMs with 101 to 500 employees have a cybersecurity leader. Join us at our Manufacturing x Digital Annual Summit and 10th Anniversary Celebration on September 17 & 18 and learn more about why there is a pressing need to strengthen cybersecurity measures across the board. 🔗 Register here: https://loom.ly/hjGJNW0 #10YearsMxD #digitalmanufacturing #manufacturing #cybersecurity #MxD #ChicagoEvents
