Description

Ensuring the Security of Manufacturing Networks in an Increasingly Insecure World


This IDC Perspective focuses on the rising security threats that manufacturers face as they continue to embrace digital technology. In particular, how IT/OT convergence initiatives and legacy equipment pose a security risk that cannot be overlooked. The document will also look at best practices and technology enablers that manufacturers can utilize to reduce the risk of industrial network security incidents from occurring."While digital technology is an essential component for long-term success, the security implications are also important for manufacturers to consider. The number of reported security incidents in the news seemingly grows every day, but all it takes is one incident to cripple an organization. Manufacturers need to implement a comprehensive security strategy that combines key business capabilities and technologies to keep their networks secure," said Reid Paquin, research director, IT Priorities and Strategies, IDC Manufacturing Insights.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
