As CNC lathes become more connected, they also become vulnerable to cyber threats. This article presents a deep dive into machine-level cybersecurity, from endpoint protection and firewalls to data encryption and secure remote access protocols.
We review international cybersecurity standards for industrial control systems (ICS) and how manufacturers can build cyber-resilient CNC operations. Real-world incidents of cyber breaches and their impact on machine uptime and IP theft are analyzed.
