Why Industry 4.0 Needs Cybersecurity: The Automation Challenge | CLM Talks

Industrial automation systems were created without a focus on cybersecurity — and connecting them to the network brought significant risks.

In this segment of CLM Talks, Fernando Zolko (Regional VP LATAM at Claroty) and Nycholas Szucko discuss the transition from traditional automation to Industry 4.0. They explain how isolated networks on the factory floor have come to require remote access, cloud connectivity, and real-time monitoring.

Understand the need to protect critical infrastructure — such as the electricity, sanitation, and transportation sectors — and how companies in the automotive and food sectors are also strengthening cybersecurity in their production lines.

In this video you will learn:

- What automation environments were like before the advent of the internet

- The impact of Industry 4.0, remote access, and cloud connectivity on security

- The importance of protection in critical infrastructures (energy, water, transportation)

- Why various industries (automotive, food) are investing in operational cybersecurity
