C. Grid/Infrastructure & Logistics
The origins of this operating models consist of very fragmented footprints and a wide range of entity sizes from global players to local SMEs. Digitalization of top line as well as bottom line is already implemented and ongoing in optimization. Technology creates business opportunities. B2C E2E-processes are already in place. Unfortunately attack risks are very high because of fragmented structures. Best practices formed and optimized by multiple very successful implementations are available solving security issues in the same manner as process & operational challenges of each size of firms from those industry.
D. Manufacturing Industry
Such firms are challenged by a wide range of operating model variants & services from big project management to serial production of machines to services on different levels globally with e.g. JIT part part services. They handle a wide range of core competencies and very often lacking the real security assurance because of their very wide range of technologies or product variants they are dealing with.
Nevertheless, their own business and the business of their clients is very much on risk without proven technology and process security, which is fortunately available for the whole peer group. Implementation and discipline in application to different cases is often the issue. Therefore trainings, review, and management of security by humans must be applicated all over the hierarchy of those firms.
