Keep it Rolling: Protecting the Production Line Through Digital Security

Delivered in partnership with Womble Bond Dickinson and the North East Automotive Alliance (NEAA), this event brings together North East manufacturing leaders and top cybersecurity experts from across the UK.

The session will examine supply chain resilience and explore the incoming wave of cyber regulations impacting manufacturers. The speakers will cut through the acronyms and jargon to explain what these regulatory regimes actually mean on the factory floor, offering actionable advice on how to protect your operations and stay compliant. We’ll also be discussing how resilient the sector is and what businesses can do to ensure business continuity and protection against JLR style attacks.
