This white paper from Plex addresses the growing threat of ransomware in manufacturing and outlines how the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform protects against it. It explains ransomware's evolution—including Ransomware-as-a-Service and ICS-targeting strains like Ekans—and the financial damage it causes.

Plex also stresses user best practices and provides a ransomware defense checklist for added protection.
