Your #CNCmachine may still cut parts perfectly. But if its data is trapped inside an older control, can your team see what's happening on the floor? Before carrying on as usual 🫣 or replacing it, note this advice from #ShopFloorAutomations 💁‍♂️ zurl.co/YbgHh #SMB1

#IT needs to reduce exposure. #Production needs the machine to run. When aging #CNCmachinery depends on #SMB1, there's no simple answer. Determine what machines need to communicate and how connections can be redesigned with this recent posting 🚩zurl.co/wHPo5
IT teams need visibility into what your aging equipment communicates, with which systems, over which protocols and ports and in which direction, including the files, applications or services required for production - Shop Floor Automations

#SMBv1 may be decades old, but some legacy #CNCequipment still depends on it. Rather than just turning it 📴, manufacturers can keep CNCs connected 🖇️ w/out broader threat exposure. Get the path forward here: zurl.co/Jy7Yh #ManufacturingCybersecurity #OTSecurity
The challenge with machinery running SMBv1 is to preserve the communication it needs for production while creating a controlled connection that limits unnecessary network access and exposure, as explored by Shop Floor Automations in this latest blog post.
