Industrial Training and Assessment Centers work with manufacturing clients to increase awareness of online risks and potential mitigation activities. As part of facility site visits, ITAC clients may elect to receive an online security risk assessment to identify security and privacy deficiencies to the business infrastructure, with a focus on vulnerabilities associated with industrial controls systems.
