Intellectual Property Theft in Manufacturing Solution Brief

This solution brief addresses the risk of intellectual property (IP) theft in manufacturing environments, particularly focusing on operational technology (OT) networks. It outlines how IP theft is often overlooked in OT contexts, despite the potential long-term impacts such as loss of market advantage and profitability. The document details findings from Dragos threat intelligence researchers, highlighting that adversaries increasingly target IP within OT networks as part of broader campaigns. It emphasizes the importance of protecting sensitive information embedded in OT processes and the challenges posed by offline storage of IP in enterprise IT segments. The brief presents the Dragos Platform as a comprehensive solution, detailing its capabilities in network visibility, threat detection, asset management, anomaly detection, incident response, and compliance monitoring. By utilizing these features, manufacturers can enhance their security measures against IP theft, ensuring the protection of their valuable intellectual property.
