PRNewswire has reported on CyberX being awarded the ISA Award for Excellence in Corporate Technical Innovation, for developing an innovative solution for real-time detection and alerts when operational networks are at risk. Highlighted at ISA’s Annual Honors & Awards Gala, CyberX was the only technology company to be honored.
The critical infrastructure of a manufacturing plant stands at the core of its productivity, operations and safety. Any successful attempt to impact these three essential pillars can have a devastating effect on the manufacturing process and the plant’s existence.
“The Excellence in Corporate Technical Innovation award recognizes the company whose contributions and innovations have enhanced social value. CyberX has been selected to receive this award for its outstanding achievements and contributions to the automation community,” said James W. Keaveney, ISA President.
“We are honored to receive this award and to see that industry leaders realize the importance of security in the automation and manufacturing worlds and place a spotlight on it,” said Omer Schneider, CEO at CyberX. “Digitizing a manufacturing plant by embracing connectivity and IIoT technologies introduces previously unseen threats into operational networks, making them more vulnerable than ever.”
