Why Manufacturing Companies Need Cybersecurity Solutions
The manufacturing sector is increasingly digitized, with companies relying on computer-controlled systems to manage production. This reliance on technology makes manufacturing companies vulnerable to cybersecurity for insurance breaches, which can have devastating consequences. A successful attack could shut down production, leading to financial losses and damage to the company’s reputation. In addition, manufacturing companies often store sensitive data, such as customer information and intellectual property. A data breach could result in the theft of this information, which could be used for nefarious purposes.
Our globally recognized cybersecurity solutions are designed to help manufacturing organizations with their cybersecurity for insurance and mitigate their most prominent risks of facing an incident, while streamlining compliance with heavy regulations. We identify real-world opportunities to compromise your cybersecurity and propose tailored recommendations to protect your production line from the main threats facing your industry, such as:
Attacks on industrial control systems:
In 2021, the Department of Homeland Security reported 6,000 cyberattacks on industrial control systems. These attacks aim to disrupt or damage production equipment.
Advanced persistent threats (ATPs)
According to a recent report, the manufacturing sector was the second most targeted by advanced persistent threats (APTs) in 2021. This type of threat is often difficult to detect and can have damaging consequences for an organization.
Ransomware attacks:
The average cost of a ransomware attack in the manufacturing sector was $4.5 million in 2021. These type of attacks aim to disrupt access to as many systems or equipment as possible in order to demand a greater ransom from the organization.
The Key Cybersecurity Challenges of the Manufacturing Industry
- Mitigating risks throughout the production chain
- Hiring qualified cybersecurity expertise internally
- Segmenting networks to limit the spread of ransomware
- Maintaining the continuity of production following a cyberattack
- Securing the ICS and SCADA systems from disruptive attacks
- Striking a balance between operational efficiency and security
