Cyberattacks on industrial companies have been on the rise for years—often with severe consequences for production, competitiveness, and reputation. For the mechanical and plant engineering sector, there is an additional factor: highly automated production environments, connected machinery, IoT services, and digital business models are expanding the attack surface for cyber threats across the entire product life cycle. At the same time, regulatory requirements for corporate cyber resilience are increasing within the EU. For VDMA members, this means that Industrial Security and Product Security must be embedded in a structured, standards-based, and auditable manner across the organization, development, operations, and service. Given the sometimes enormous losses caused by cyber incidents, cyber insurance is also becoming increasingly relevant for companies. Against this backdrop, VDMA Austria is hosting a full-day peer exchange on Industrial & Product Security on 5 March 2026. The event will take place at Beckhoff Automation in Vienna, and we cordially invite you to attend.

further details will follow at the beginning of 2026. Make a note of the date today.
