Manufacturing has evolved—from clipboards and conveyor belts to cloud-connected systems, IoT sensors, and automated production lines. But while innovation is revolutionizing the shop floor, it’s also opening new doors for cybercriminals.
Today, cybersecurity for manufacturers is complex and ransomware doesn’t just hit email inboxes—it halts operations, shuts down machinery, and sends ripple effects across global supply chains. A single vulnerability—like a misconfigured cloud asset or a shared password—can lead to millions in damages, weeks of downtime, and lost customer trust.
If you think cybercriminals only target large corporations, think again. In fact, 46% of data breaches now impact small and mid-sized businesses—many of which operate in the manufacturing sector without realizing they’re at risk.
Cyber Risk is a Business Risk
The reality is that many manufacturing organizations aren’t equipped to detect, respond to, or recover from a cyberattack. Despite growing threats, basic cybersecurity best practices—like patching schedules, credential management, and continuous monitoring—often fall through the cracks.
This creates a perfect storm: valuable intellectual property, legacy systems, and high operational costs from unexpected downtime.
And when an attack does happen? Insurance may not cover it. Clients might demand proof of your security posture. And your ability to deliver on-time can suffer, affecting contracts and future business.
Manufacturers Can’t Afford to Be Reactive
Proactive cybersecurity for manufacturers isn’t just a technical upgrade—it’s a competitive advantage.
From better visibility into your digital assets to having a trusted response team on standby 24/7/365, investing in cybersecurity keeps your production moving, your data protected, and your team focused on growth—not damage control.
