OT Network Segmentation – How to Separate OT From IT Without Stopping Production
Manufacturing accounted for 27.7% of all cyberattacks tracked worldwide in 2025, making it the most targeted industry for the fifth consecutive year, according to IBM’s X-Force threat intelligence team. The concern for manufacturers is not just what happens…
Industrial PC Manufacturers in the USA and How to Tell Them Apart
What does “Made in USA” actually mean when it comes to industrial computers? The FTC uses computers to illustrate an important point: where a product is assembled is only part of the story. A system built in a U.S. facility can still contain significant…

What Is an Industrial PC? How Plant-Floor Computers Differ From Standard Hardware
An industrial PC is built to survive exactly what kills a standard desktop tower on a plant floor. Dust cakes the intake fan until it seizes. A forklift’s vibration works a memory module loose. A summer without air conditioning pushes the CPU past its rated…
