Credit: MarcoPace68\/Shutterstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"drop-cap\">Digitalisation within the packaging industry over recent years has increased productivity and efficiency, but it also brings with it new cybersecurity threats.<\/p>\n<p>By bringing more of a company\u2019s assets online, digitalisation increases the potential attack surface and means that businesses must take greater protective measures. Threats today don\u2019t just include back-office email phishing and data leaks but also the potential for attacks against connected machinery and attacks elsewhere in the supply chain that can have a knock-on effect.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Inside Packaging, GlobalData senior analyst Rory Gopsill outlines the rise and benefits of digitalisation, as well as the increased threats packaging companies face as a result of it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Future of Manufacturing - Tech in 2030\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x68J__PP8EQ?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-has-digitalisation-changed-the-packaging-industry-0\">How has digitalisation changed the packaging industry?<\/h3>\n<p>Digitalisation has underpinned smart manufacturing for packaging companies. Digitalising production has enabled packaging companies to improve cost efficiencies by optimising and automating industrial processes. It has also transformed essential business processes, such as supply chain management and customer relations management, by enabling tasks to be automated and decisions to be based on analysis of big data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-to-what-extent-has-digitalisation-given-rise-to-new-cyber-threats-within-the-sector-0\">To what extent has digitalisation given rise to new cyber threats within the sector?<\/h3>\n<p>Digitalisation and the emergence of the internet effectively created cyber threats as we understand them. A Victorian steam engine can\u2019t be hacked, but an internet-connected logistics robot can be. The internet is as much the enabler of hacking as it is of modern packaging operations.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cybersecurity Market - Industry Insight &amp; Forecast\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gV_AUFDg_Og?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-main-cybersecurity-threats-within-the-sector-0\">What are the main cybersecurity threats within the sector?<\/h3>\n<p>Production lines are one point of attack that packaging companies must protect. Packaging production often relies on internet-connected machines, which can be hacked if not properly protected. <\/p>\n<div class=\"gdm-company-profile-unit__container\" id=\"company_profile_form\">\n<p class=\"gdm-company-profile-unit__sub-heading\">Access the most comprehensive Company Profiles<br \/>\n            on the market, powered by GlobalData.

This means it can be very difficult for these big companies to maintain visibility over their machines and systems (i.e. the attack surface for threat actors) and to coordinate security practices in any simple way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From a corporate point of view, packaging companies rely on humans as much as any other sector, and humans are fallible. It can take just one employee clicking on a link in a phishing email for threat actors to gain access to the company\u2019s corporate network and wreak havoc, steal information, and ultimately cause the company financial damage.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Generative AI Explained\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vneJieU5qlg?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-to-what-extent-has-ai-brought-about-new-cybersecurity-threats-within-the-sector\">To what extent has AI brought about new cybersecurity threats within the sector?<\/h3>\n<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for a long time and has been integrated into packaging business operations for a long time. AI has been a key part of the digitalisation trend, which (as stated) has contributed significantly to the growth in cyber threats by transferring control and decision-making apparatus to online environments. Recent developments in AI could create new threats in the form of hackers using the technology to improve their attacks.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Newsletter banner start --><\/p>\n<p><!-- <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"\"> --><\/p>\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<section class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner__container\">\n<div class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner__wrapper-container gdm-newsletter-banner__wrapper-container--article\">\n<div class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner-info__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner-logo__container\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/wp-content\/themes\/goodlife-wp-B2B\/assets\/images\/newsletter-new.svg\" alt=\"Email newsletter icon\"\/>\n                <\/div>\n<div class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner-info__container\">\n<h3 class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner__heading wp-noreslt\">Sign up for our daily news round-up!<\/h3>\n<p class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner__sub-heading\">Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Newsletter banner end --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"article-footer\">\n                                <!-- article-actions start --><\/p>\n<p><!-- .gdm-article-actions -->                                <!-- article-actions end --><br \/>\n                            <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/news\/packaging-companies-must-protect-production-lines-from-cyberattacks-analyst\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Threats today include attacks against connected machinery.
