The new era of Ethernet and wireless networking in industrial applications has increased security concerns to an all time high, and for good reason.
Today’s industrial network professionals must understand how to maintain data integrity, while implementing measures to prevent network intrusions and eavesdropping.
Join Phoenix Contact’s Ira Sharp and the editors of Industrial Safety and Security Source (ISSSource.com) for a webinar entitled “Network Security in a Wireless World.”
You will learn what security risks exist in wireless Ethernet networking, and what you can do to eliminate them.
Wireless security topics discussed:
- Wireless Ethernet networking standards
- What security risks exist
- Encryption and authentication — what’s good and what’s not so good
- What can you do to protect your facility.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
