Cyber Security for Manufacturing

Strengthening Manufacturing Processes with Seamless Cybersecurity Measures

Manufacturers are met with increasing pressure ot maintain and improve their cybersecurity compliance measures to avoid breaches. Without a strong cyber security system in place, manufacturing companies could face reputational damage and significant financial loss.  

The average cost of a cyber attack on a manufacturing company was estimated to be around $4.99 million.

The manufacturing sector faces unique challenges and vulnerabilities when it comes to cybersecurity. These challenges arise due to several factors:

LEGACY SYSTEMS

Many manufacturing organizations still rely on legacy systems and equipment that were not designed with modern cybersecurity considerations in mind. These outdated systems may have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cyber attackers.

SUPPLY CHAIN RISKS

Manufacturing relies heavily on complex global supply chains, which can introduce cybersecurity risks. Weak security practices by suppliers or third-party vendors can expose manufacturing organizations to potential breaches and attacks.

INTERCONNECTED

Manufacturing processes have become increasingly interconnected through Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices and automation systems. While this connectivity enhances productivity and efficiency, it also expands the attack surface, providing more entry points for cybercriminals.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT

Manufacturing companies often possess valuable intellectual property, including proprietary designs, and manufacturing processes. Cyber attackers may target these assets, seeking to steal or exploit them for financial gain or competitive advantage.

Cybersecurity breaches in manufacturing can have severe consequences on both the business’s safety and privacy. These impacts include:
