Discover Cybersecurity Solutions At PACK EXPO Int’l In Chicago The use of new and evolving technologies such as fully integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, cloud computing and connected machine sensor net- works, remote access, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connectivity increased exponentially over the last two years. While these technologies make manufacturing more efficient, they also create new exploitable points of vulnerability, according to the Cybersecurity: Assess Your Risk white paper from PMMI, The Association for Packag- ing and Processing Technologies. PACK EXPO International will showcase the latest solu- tions to keep your business safe. Cybersecurity will be a key topic of focus at The Forum during PACK EXPO Inter- national 2022, produced by PMMI (October 23-26, McCor- mick Place, Chicago). These free, 45-minute interactive sessions begin with short presentations by top experts then move on to roundtable discussions. “As our industry increases its reliance on digital tech- nology, it is critical for manufacturers to improve cyberse- curity preparedness and stay abreast of the latest tools and technologies to protect their operations,” says Jim Pit- tas, president and CEO, PMMI. “With top industry experts and leading suppliers all under one roof, PACK EXPO In- ternational is the best place to gain the knowledge and
understanding needed to reduce the risk of a cyberattack on operations.” According to PMMI’s white paper, in the first quarter of 2020, attacks targeting the manufacturing sector account- ed for 11 percent of all cyberattacks that occurred across all industries. By the second quarter of 2020, cyberattacks targeting manufacturers accounted for 33 percent of all incidents across all industries. This increase in attacks is especially alarming consid- ering there are real, growing costs to manufacturers that experience a cyberattack. In 2020, the average cost of a cyberattack stood at around $3.86 million, and that is be- fore factoring in ancillary impacts such as lost opportunity and damaged customer loyalty.

In addition to cybersecurity solutions and targeted thought-leading education sessions, PACK EXPO Inter- national will be the most comprehensive packaging and processing show in the world in 2022 and this year’s edi- tion will offer attendees more features than ever before. No other event this year will showcase entire production line solutions and offer everything needed to compete in a changing marketplace.
