ARC WebWindow is a series of top-level webinars covering current industry hot topics each quarter.  We started 2015's first quarter with "Industrie 4.0 & Big Data" and covered "Machine Safeguarding & Energy Management" in Q2. Our session in Q3 will be held on Monday, August 10, 2015 and will cover the "Automation Markets:  Developments and Trends".

Identifying growth drivers and inhibitors is a difficult task.  It becomes even more challenging, considering the difference of short term, business cycle, and long term factors.  These factors play a huge role in ARC's daily research routine and we interview users and suppliers on a daily basis.  In this webinar we will focus on these factors and will provide you an insight on what we think matters over the next years.  Technology, business cycle, and socio-economic developments will be discussed and their impact on the automation markets. 

We will feature distinct topics such as:

  • Impact of the rising robotics market
  • Industry 4.0
  • New approaches to services
  • The development in China
  • Modular automation
  • Saturated markets

A challenging task is that these trends all require secure and reliable communication.  As does the connectivity of industrial systems grow, so does the interest by the hacker community in industrial control systems. With potential attacks on water and electricity networks, on Oil and Gas refineries and other features of a critical infrastructure carrying an increasingly damaging impact. Ensure that you are prepared to maximize resilience and minimize your vulnerability by learning about the latest cyber threats to industrial automation both human and technical, in the world today. Cyber Security is a requirement and enable of modern day automation.


This webinar will address the following topics:

  • Who are typical attackers of industrial control systems?
  • What are the typical attack vectors?
  • How can I simple harden my industrial control equipment?
