Cybersecurity in the Industrial Renaissance: Opportunities for Agents
MetTel CTO Ed Fox shares in a new article on Manufacturing.Net how AI, cloud integration, and connected operational technology (OT) are transforming manufacturing, but also increasing cybersecurity risks. As more companies connect SCADA and OT systems to IT networks for analytics and predictive maintenance, efficiency improves but new vulnerabilities emerge. Private 5G networks give manufacturers secure, high-performance connectivity with full control, network segmentation, edge security, and real-time threat detection for AI-driven operations.
What this means for agents:
Growing demand for secure networking solutions, especially in manufacturing, energy, and other critical infrastructure sectors.
Opportunities to bundle Private 5G, managed network services, and cybersecurity into OT/IT convergence projects.
Value in educating clients on proactive, integrated defenses contextual awareness of AI/OT traffic, edge-level protection, and unified visibility.
Agents who can bridge the gap between industrial operations and advanced security solutions will be well-positioned to capture new revenue in this high-growth space.
