The Factory IT Survival Kit

Product Title: The Factory IT Survival Kit — Manufacturing Infrastructure Guide

Price: $19 (or R349)

Description:

Your factory floor is monitored down to the last reject. But what about the IT infrastructure keeping it all running?

The Factory IT Survival Kit is a 10-page practical guide written by an IT Manager with 25 years of experience running infrastructure across manufacturing plants in South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria. This is not a textbook — it is the checklist you wish someone handed you on day one.

What is inside:

— Network Architecture Template: VLAN segmentation for manufacturing, firewall rule matrix, WiFi setup for corporate and OT environments — Monitoring Checklist: What to watch, what thresholds to set, which free tools actually work (Zabbix, Uptime Kuma, Wazuh, PRTG) — Email and Microsoft 365 Security Hardening: 12 non-negotiable settings including MFA, DMARC journey, anti-phishing, and auto-forward blocking — Backup Strategy on One Page: The 3-2-1 rule implemented for manufacturing — what to back up, how often, and where — 10 Red Flags Your Factory IT Is About to Fail: A walk-your-plant checklist with explanations for each warning sign — Quick-Start Checklists: Week 1, Month 1, and Quarter 1 action plans you can print and hand to your team

Built for plant managers, operations directors, factory IT leads, and maintenance managers who also handle IT. Works for any manufacturer — from a 20-person workshop to a 500-person multi-site operation.

Delivered as a professional PDF.
