Log data make production more resilient

Forward-looking manufacturers could use advanced tools to increase productivity while ensuring compliance with regulations. By leveraging security data, they can monitor operations, mitigate risks, and transform cybersecurity into a competitive advantage. For instance, IoT devices generate log data that track access, access frequency, and compliance with approved procedures in networks. These data maintain device and network security and are therefore crucial. They also provide insights into operational efficiency, such as the frequency of remote access by technicians or the number of device disruptions each week. Additionally, log data can highlight patterns in new product registration and geographic variations. This information is of high business value and enables manufacturers to streamline operations and promote growth.

Exponentially improve operational efficiency

The data collected by cybersecurity tools such as SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) contribute to areas of security and compliance, which are essential for performance and availability management. Viewing cybersecurity merely as a cost factor overlooks its additional value that extends beyond cyber resilience. Tools like SIEM, however, capture data that provides deeper insights into operations and system communications. By centralizing log management, these tools can merge data from various sources to ensure continuous monitoring of industrial processes and systems. With advanced analytics and machine learning (ML), they can detect potential security threats and anomalies, enhancing overall cybersecurity posture and operational efficiency.

Hyperconnectivity offers numerous benefits for manufacturing. Real-time data exchange between systems, machines, and processes, for instance, exponentially improves operational efficiency, as emphasized by Graylog. This transparency contributes to better coordination among manufacturers, suppliers, and dealers, creating a "smarter" and more flexible manufacturing environment. However, experts note that the sector is only as good as its service, which must be fast, precise, and risk-free to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of manufacturing processes.
