It’s key for Equipment Manufacturers to decrease their product development lifecycle while improving the overall quality of their products before they go to market, especially in times of changing device requirements. With process controls and SCADA systems now linked to IP-based networks, security is a critical component for Equipment Manufacturers to address to ensure products are free of defects for their customers in order to limit service disruptions and downtime.
To meet this challenge, Equipment Manufacturers are faced with:
- Integrating untested components such as digital I/O
- Increased competitive development and deployment pressures
- Shortage of security expertise and resources
Now more than ever before, Equipment Manufacturers must develop and implement security testing best practices to ensure the highest quality and robustness, quicker time-to-market, and fewer defects and product returns; helping their customers stay ahead of the growing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats. |
