Manufacturers have Unique Cybersecurity Challenges

Addressing the Complex and Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape for Modern Manufacturing Operations
Schedule a demo
Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common and can be devastating to manufacturing companies. Attackers can use ransomware to encrypt the company's data and demand a ransom payment to restore access to the data.
IoT-Based Attacks
Many manufacturing companies rely on the Internet of Things (IoT) to manage their operations. However, IoT devices can be particularly vulnerable to attacks, and hackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to gain access to the company's systems and data.
Supply Chain Attacks
Supply chain attacks are becoming more sophisticated, and manufacturing companies are not immune to them. Hackers can compromise a supplier's systems and use that access to infiltrate the manufacturing company's systems.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
APTs are long-term, targeted attacks that can go undetected for months or even years. Manufacturing companies are often targeted by APTs due to their valuable intellectual property and trade secrets.
Social Engineering Attacks
Social engineering attacks, such as phishing and spear-phishing, are becoming more prevalent and sophisticated. Attackers can use social engineering tactics to trick employees into divulging sensitive information or clicking on malicious links.
Legacy Systems and Equipment
Many manufacturing companies still use legacy systems and equipment that may not be designed with modern cybersecurity practices in mind. These systems may be difficult to secure and may have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers.

CISOs & CTOs have it the worst

CISOs and CTOs in Industry 4.0 face a nightmarish task of balancing cybersecurity and innovation in Manufacturing.

Limited Time and Budget

CISOs may face limitations in terms of time and budget, making it challenging to provide in-depth Infosec training to employees. This can result in rushed and inadequate training, which may not effectively address cybersecurity risks.

Lack of Resources

Many manufacturing companies do not have dedicated information security teams or adequate resources to provide comprehensive Infosec training. This makes it difficult for CISOs to ensure that all employees receive the necessary training to mitigate cybersecurity risks.

Resistance to Change

Employees may resist changing their behaviors and habits, making it challenging for CISOs to implement new Infosec training programs effectively. This resistance can lead to a lack of employee engagement and suboptimal results.

Technological Complexity

Manufacturing companies use various technologies, making it difficult for CISOs to provide comprehensive Infosec training. This complexity can make it challenging to identify all vulnerabilities and provide effective training on each system.
