Providing Proactive Protection for Manufacturers

Cybersecurity Operations for the Manufacturing Industry

In today’s modern manufacturing world, automation and connectivity are essential parts of manufacturing. But these same technical innovations expose the manufacturing industry to cyber threats, putting their people, data, intellectual property, and reputation at risk. Proactive security operations solutions are needed to ensure that your company stays secure.

By the Numbers

Why the Manufacturing Industry is a Prime Target for Cyber Threats

Global supply chains, interconnected smart factories, sprawling webs of suppliers, legacy systems, fragmented security frameworks, and industrial IoT devices mean the manufacturing industry is more at risk than ever before. 

Intellectual property theft, phishing attacks, and ransomware remain constant threats, while supply chain and industrial IoT attacks are on the rise.  Meanwhile, proactive protection remains elusive as the high costs of spinning up an in-house security operations center — let alone finding the talent to staff it — can be too high a hurdle for the manufacturing industry to clear. That’s why many manufacturers are turning to managed security operations solutions.

Manufacturing was the most targeted industry for cyberattacks globally for the third consecutive year, accounting for 25% of all incidents in 2023.
Over 60% of manufacturing companies have experienced a cyber attack.
85% of incidents could have been mitigated with patching, multi-factor authentication or least-privilege principles
The average cost of a data breach in manufacturing was $5.56 million in 2024, up 18% from the previous year.
