Manufacturing Cybersecurity: How to Make Your Organization More Secure

The manufacturing industry is consistently among the most targeted sectors for cybercriminals due to its operational and strategic importance. Ransomware, intellectual property theft, and supply chain attacks are especially prevalent, with attackers exploiting outdated systems, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the need for continuous operations — all of which highlight the urgent need for stronger manufacturing cybersecurity measures.

Expensive Downtime

Downtime is always expensive, but this is especially the case for manufacturers — a fact that digital threat actors have been eager to exploit.
