Introduction

"Little Things, Big Breaches Asset-Centric Security for Manufacturing" examines how small, often-overlooked details in manufacturing environments compound into major cyber risk. This rewrite synthesizes Manufacturing.net’s Security Breach podcast episode (published August 21, 2025) featuring Jesper Sønderby Andersen, Global Head of Customer Success at Secomea, with host Jeff Reinke. It centers on practical, asset-focused approaches to security across IT and OT, and emphasizes the essential keywords: manufacturing, assets, governance, it-ot, remote-access, segmentation, crown-jewels, asset-inventory, vendor-risk, ai, supply-chain, resilience, incident-response, visibility, monitoring, cross-functional, continuity, trust.
