What we do: Create an environment where manufacturing end user can (learn) share concerns, challenges and successes related to cybersecurity in a manufacturing environment.
So they can;

• Mitigate threats to industrial automation, measurement & control equipment and systems created by Cyber Security risks.
• Allow the WIB members to speak with one voice to the industrial automation Vendors to allow them to improve their products and services.
• Leverage guidance papers generated by the team within their own organization.

What we don’t do: Share prices, discuss vendors and talk about intellectual property.
