AICC To Host Free Cybersecurity Webinar, Amtech To Present AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, will host an upcoming webinar, Preventing a Plant Shutdown: Cy- bersecurity Essentials , presented by Amtech Software on Thursday, April 2, at 2:00 p.m. ET. This timely session will help packaging industry leaders understand the growing threat of cyberattacks and the steps they can take to pro- tect their operations. Manufacturing has consistently ranked among the most targeted industries for cyberattacks in recent years. As artificial intelligence continues to accelerate the so- phistication, speed, and scale of these attacks, packaging plants face operational risks that can be as disruptive as catastrophic events like fires or floods. A single cyber incident can halt production, disrupt supply chains, compromise safety systems, and cause sig- nificant financial and reputational damage. This webinar is designed specifically for packaging IT and operations leaders seeking to understand their cybersecurity maturi- ty better, identify vulnerabilities, and strengthen business resilience. During the session, presenters will break down cyber- security fundamentals in practical terms and share action- able strategies that organizations can implement to re- duce risk and safeguard plant continuity.

Participants will learn: Common cyber risk factors with- in manufacturing and packaging plants; how to evaluate their organization’s current cybersecurity maturity; and practical steps to improve cyber resilience and reduce the risk of operational shutdowns. The webinar will feature two experts from Amtech Soft- ware. Michael Ochi, Director of Prod- uct Marketing at Amtech Software, brings extensive industry experience to the discussion. As an industrial en- gineer, Ochi has managed continuous improvement initiatives on production lines and has more than a decade of experience delivering ERP, MES, and inventory management solutions through professional services and product teams. Theo Peterson, Vice President of Infrastructure & Se- curity at Amtech Software, will join him. Peterson leads enterprise IT op- erations, platform engineering, and information security for the company. His background includes building and operating security and infrastructure programs in high-growth environ- ments, with a focus on aligning risk management with execution speed, operational resil- ience, and customer trust.
