SUMMARY:Moving Manufacturing Production from Offshore to Domestic Webinar
DESCRIPTION:When a company decides to return production of an item from an international location to the United States\, there are many factors to take into account before manufacturing can begin. \nSome top level executives may think they can call to “Move production from China to the US!” and make the change quickly. In reality\, there is considerable engineering effort\, tooling and assembly expenses\, and time required to move production from a global producer to a U.S. production facility. \nThe primary focus is the need to redesign the product\, or at least significant aspects of the product. Moving production back to the U. S. highlights global differences in: \n\nProduct specifications\nLabor practices\nWork preferences\nRequirements for ergonomic assembly\nFactory practices\nWork ethic\nSupply chain logistics\n\nThe resulting impact to the product involves product cost\, methods of assembly\, regulatory agencies\, available materials and fabrication techniques\, different material and labor costs\, and different warranty and field reliability impact. \nJoin IMEC and Advanced Automations to learn the differences in producing domestic vs. international\, reasons for the differences\, and how to turn the return to domestic production into an opportunity for a better and more profitable product. \nCost: FREE!  A recording of the webinar will be available for download at the IMEC Coronavirus: Update page. \nPresenter: Errin Gnadinger\, Founder and Chief Technology Officer  |  Advanced Automations\, LLC \nContact Name: Emily Lee |  Contact Phone: 608-445-4905  |  Contact Email: elee@imec.org \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \nUnable to attend the live webinar?  A recording of the webinar will be available for download at the IMEC Coronavirus: Update page. \nPresented in partnership with: \n\n  \nPresented with support from: \n \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:How Companies Get Hacked (and What You Can Do About It)
DESCRIPTION:Hackers around the world are targeting manufacturing companies in attempts to gain access to confidential information\, financial account data\, attack supply chain partners and more.  In fact\, 922 manufacturers were attacked last year alone\, according to the 2020 Verizon Data Breach Incident Response Report.  Today\, companies are also held hostage by ransomware\, the malicious software that locks up your files until you pay a ransom.  \nAll it takes is one person in your organization to click on a link and your files could be locked up for good.  We’ll show you the most common ways attackers break into your computer.  Then\, we’ll share the most important building blocks of a strong cybersecurity program. \nRegister now for the joint webinar from the Montana Manufacturing Extension Center (MMEC) and LMG Security\, to learn how you can protect your organization and your supply chain partners from cybercriminals. \nSpeaker: Patrick Burns\, Direct of Business Development and Senior Relationship Manager LMG Security \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \n

SUMMARY:Cyber Essentials Chapter 1: Yourself as the Leader. Driving Cybersecurity Strategy\, Investment and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Being a cyber leader does not require technical expertise\, but rather an ability to change the culture of your organization. Reducing your organization’s cyber risks requires awareness of cybersecurity basics. As a leader\, you need to drive your organization’s approach to cybersecurity as you would any other hazard (e.g. how you identify risk\, reduce vulnerabilities\, and plan for contingencies). This requires an investment of time and money\, as well as the collective buy-in of your management team. Your investment drives actions and activities\, and these build and sustain a culture of cybersecurity. \nWe’ll spend 40 minutes providing an overview of CISA’s new Cyber Essential Chapter 1:  Yourself As the Leader resource\, and will provide time at the end for audience Q&A. \nSpecial Guest Speaker:  \nKevin Dillon\, Acting Associate Director\, Strategic Relations\, Stakeholder Engagement Division\, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \n
