Legacy manufacturing software needs to integrate with modern cloud platforms and they do not know where to start
They are concerned about cyber security threats targeting their operational technology and industrial control systems
They need to meet ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, or customer-mandated security standards for tender requirements
