    • November 2022

    Just like brushing and flossing, putting on pants or grabbing a cup of coffee, cybersecurity must become routine. It must be a familiar, everyday activity to be effective. Locks, firewalls or other barriers that get bolted on in a one-time panic won't stay secure for long—no matter how much everyone wants a silver bullet or black box they can install and forget about. As always, there's no "set it and forget it" when it comes to cybersecurity. Also in this issue, read about FieldComm Group's 2022 Plant of the Year as well as the latest terminal blocks and I/O component. Find all this and more in the November issue of Control magazine.
