Industry Overview

Cybersecurity in Manufacturing

A cyberattack on a manufacturer can be devastating. Production line disruptions, intellectual property theft and disrupted supply chains lead to reputation damage and significant financial losses. Proactive manufacturing cybersecurity measures are crucial for protecting your operations.

Manufacturing Cybersecurity

The manufacturing industry is one for the most targeted by cybercriminals

As the manufacturing industry adopts automation, IoT devices, and interconnected supply chains – the attack surface for cyber threats expands, leaving manufacturers vulnerable to a range of malicious activities.

Tactics like ransomware, phishing, supply chain attacks, and DDoS attacks are becoming more sophisticated as attackers embrace AI. What does this mean for manufacturing cybersecurity?

Key challenges

Supply Chain
