How secure are your systems?

Sweden is often considered to be one of the world's most cybersecure countries but despite this, it was revealed in 2017 that a security slip up made confidential police records available to IT workers in the Czech Republic. This throws into question other security systems across Sweden and the globe. Here, Sean Robinson, service leader at industrial automation provider Novotek UK and Ireland, explores how automation systems in manufacturing can be made more secure.
