Protect Your Production Lines from Cyber Threats

Cybersecurity for manufacturing

A cyberattack on a manufacturing operation can be catastrophic. From production stoppages and supply chain disruptions to intellectual property theft, manufacturers face unique and costly cybersecurity challenges. CloudGuard’s 24/7 Managed XDR (Extended Detection & Response) service helps manufacturers stay operational, secure, and compliant, without the high cost of building an internal SOC.

Cybersecurity For Manufacturing

Why is manufacturing a prime target for cyber attacks?

As manufacturers adopt IoT devices, automation, and cloud-based supply chains, their attack surface expands, making them high-priority targets for ransomware, supply chain attacks, and IP theft. Without 24/7 threat detection and incident response, these attacks can result in:

  • Production shutdowns (costing millions in downtime)
  • Theft of sensitive intellectual property (IP)
  • Disrupted supply chains
  • Reputational damage
Key challenges

Supply Chain

Vulnerabilities in interconnected networks pose threats like data breaches and disruptions, impacting operations and security.

How We Help:

  • 24/7 threat monitoring across your entire ecosystem
    Automated response to supply chain attacks
  • Full visibility into third-party risks

Old & New Tech

Legacy IT and operational technology pose security risks, while adopting new tech like AI and automation introduces new complexities and vulnerabilities to your OT Security.

How We Help:

  • Protect both legacy and new technologies
  • Secure IoT devices and critical infrastructure
  • Detect and respond to threats in real-time

Talent Shortages

The cyber talent shortage in manufacturing prevents effective security against evolving threats, leaving companies vulnerable to attacks.

How We Help:

  • Provide 24/7 Managed SOC without hiring internal staff
  • Leverage AI-driven threat detection and response
  • Reduce manual workloads through automation

Frequently Asked Questions

Manufacturing environments rely on a mix of legacy systems, connected machinery, and digital supply chains. This combination creates more entry points for attackers, making it easier for threats to disrupt operations, steal data, or halt production.

The most common risks include ransomware, unauthorised access to operational technology, supply chain breaches, and poor visibility across connected systems. These issues can lead to downtime, safety concerns, and loss of sensitive information.

Many manufacturers use continuous monitoring, automated threat response, and clear incident plans to reduce risk while keeping production running. This approach helps detect issues early and respond quickly without needing major changes to day-to-day operations.

Not necessarily. Many organisations use managed security services to gain round-the-clock monitoring, expert response, and advanced tooling without the cost or complexity of building and maintaining an internal security team.
