NAM Creates Cybersecurity Brain Trust, Holds Meeting At DC HQ As manufacturers confront an ever-expanding list of cy- bersecurity threats, the NAM is mustering the leading cy- bersecurity minds in the sector to fight back. Since March 2021, it has been gathering chief information security of- ficers from a large range of companies to discuss their shared challenges and the strategies that have worked against them. Recently, a group of these cyber leaders met at the NAM’s D.C. headquarters to exchange their latest updates. Here is a sneak peek inside this meeting, where the future of the industry’s cyber defenses was being shaped. The discussion covered both IT and OT technology and the interdependence between the two that requires a careful but not restrictive cyber strategy. Beyond the tech- nology itself, the CISOs also detailed how they present their progress to their boards, including their metrics for success.

Cyber training for employees was a particular focus for the group, as manufacturers work to educate their work- forces about these threats. Though most cyber training is directed at IT personnel, there are more and more plant floor workers who also use computers and must receive security training, the CISOs noted. It is best to embed training into the overall asset care process, recommended one leader, so it becomes a long-term priority. In addition, role-based training ensures all bases are covered, includ- ing contractors, according to another CISO. The meeting also featured an appearance from a con- gressional adviser on cybersecurity, who detailed what policymakers are planning. Emily Burdick, professional staff member to the majority on the House Homeland Se- curity Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection, explained how the subcommittee is working to oversee the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s two roles: overseeing critical infrastructure and monitoring federal networks. Congress is focusing on four key priorities for the year, Burdick said. These include: Monitoring CISA’s soon-to-be-proposed rule on cy- ber-incident reporting (on track for a Notice of Proposed CONTINUED ON PAGE 40
