Cybersecurity Framework for Smart Factories

As smart factories become the cornerstone of modern manufacturing, integrating Industrial IoT (IIoT), AI-driven automation, and cloud platforms, cybersecurity has emerged as a non-negotiable priority. The convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) creates unprecedented vulnerabilities, with cyberattacks on manufacturing now outpacing those on financial sectors.

Manufacturing Under Siege

The manufacturing industry is facing an unprecedented cybersecurity crisis, and the statistics are genuinely alarming. A comprehensive survey reveals that 84% of manufacturing leaders fear malware and ransomware attacks above all other threats, whilst 68% of IT teams are dangerously understaffed to handle growing network complexities. With manufacturing accounting for 25.7% of all cyberattacks globally, IT managers can no longer afford to treat network security as an afterthought.

New Network Technologies

As organisations grow and digital demands accelerate, IT managers are increasingly tasked with scaling their networks rapidly-without sacrificing reliability, security, or operational simplicity. At Digital Carbon, our mission is to deliver secure, seamless connectivity across branch locations, data centres, remote workers, and cloud environments. Here’s how enterprises should approach the evaluation and integration of new network technologies and partners to ensure both scalability and long-term success.

Digital Carbon Blog Broadcom Price Hike

The tech industry has been rocked by Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, bringing sweeping changes to licensing models and pricing structures. Businesses that have relied on VMware for their virtualisation infrastructure are now facing significantly higher costs due to the elimination of perpetual licences in favour of a subscription-based model. With reports of price increases reaching up to 700%, IT managers must urgently seek alternatives to avoid budget overruns.

AI Reshaping Connectivity for Manufacturing and Construction

In the manufacturing industry, connectivity plays a critical role in powering operations, managing supply chains, and enabling advanced technologies such as IoT and automation. However, achieving reliable, high-speed internet access in remote or industrial areas has historically been a challenge. Traditional broadband solutions often fall short, leaving manufacturing facilities in connectivity dead zones.

How SD-WAN and WAN Optimization Work Together

In today’s fast-evolving manufacturing landscape, connectivity is a crucial driver of productivity, efficiency, and innovation. The integration of advanced manufacturing systems, IoT devices, and real-time analytics platforms has placed unprecedented demands on enterprise networks. Manufacturers are no longer just factories—they’re highly interconnected ecosystems where speed, reliability, and seamless access to cloud and on-premises applications are non-negotiable.

Network Connectivity to China

The manufacturing industry relies heavily on seamless and reliable global communication, especially when it comes to coordinating operations, supply chains, and production lines spread across different regions. For manufacturers with operations in China, establishing high-performance network connectivity is crucial for ensuring that everything runs smoothly. However, connecting branch offices and factories in China with headquarters or supply chain partners in Europe, the United States, or other regions presents several unique challenges.

VMware SD-Access vs OpenVPN

When it comes to providing secure and reliable remote access for a distributed workforce, organizations are often faced with choosing between legacy VPN solutions like OpenVPN Access Server or more modern alternatives like VMware VeloCloud SD-Access. While OpenVPN has been a popular choice for many businesses due to its simplicity and open-source nature, VeloCloud SD-Access stands out as a more powerful, scalable, and cost-effective solution tailored for today's evolving enterprise needs. Let’s dive into the key benefits of VeloCloud SD-Access over OpenVPN and explore why it's the better option for businesses looking to future-proof their remote access infrastructure.

SD-WAN Multi-Cloud by Digital Carbon

SD-WAN is a relatively new technology that is being adopted by many organizations in order to improve their WAN performance. SD-WAN offers a number of advantages over traditional WAN solutions, including improved performance, lower costs and easier deployment. One of the main benefits of SD-WAN is its ability to improve video performance. Video is one of the most demanding applications when it comes to network bandwidth.
