Remote access security using a solution capable of ensuring your data is safe is more important than ever. We look at how you can make sure that you reap the benefits of remote access without compromising your data.<\/span><\/p>

The RealVNC blog<\/a> has discussed the benefits of remote access in manufacturing extensively. And for good reason. Remote access software<\/a> can make many things much easier for manufacturing organizations.<\/span><\/p>

But how do you keep things secure when using remote access software in Manufacturing? <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

First, let’s look at some of the reasons why data security should be a top priority for your manufacturing organization (if it isn’t already).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

According to a recent IBM report<\/a>, a data breach in the Industrial field costs in 2024, on average, $5.56 million dollars. This is much higher than in 2023, when it was at $4.73 million. Only data breaches in the Healthcare and Financial fields cost more than that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The numbers in a recent Sophos report<\/a> make for pretty grim reading. According to it, 56% of manufacturing organizations faced a ransomware attack in 2023, with data being encrypted in 68% of the cases. Only 27% of attacks were stopped before encryption. Where data was encrypted, it was also stolen in almost a third of the cases (32%).<\/span><\/p>

A cyberattack can results in significant downtime, which brings along further financial losses. Not to mention damaging the organization’s reputation and effecting its entire supply chain. Even worse, a data breach can, in most of the cases, lead to compromised intellectual property.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We need to have a very serious conversation about what remote access security in manufacturing entails. And what you should have in mind when it comes to it.\u00a0<\/p>

Remote access is great. It allows production managers to keep an eye on several sites at once, or it allows you to train employees thousands of miles away. Not to mention predictive maintenance<\/a>, or even real-time monitoring<\/a>. However, using a solution without the proper security measures is very dangerous. But the risks are very low if you use a truly secure remote access solution. This is where RealVNC Connect comes in.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
