Research indicates that cyber attacks on manufacturing firms have dramatically increased, with 80% reporting significant incidents last year. This rise correlates with a shift towards cloud, AI, and IoT during digital transformation, enhancing efficiency but also broadening the cyber attack surface. Ransomware targets critical industries, projecting costs from $200,000 to $2 million for manufacturers hit by attacks. The convergence of IT and operational technology heightens risk, yet few companies have mature cybersecurity practices. Clear roles and strong defenses against these emerging threats are now essential for mission-critical systems.
Cyber attacks on manufacturing firms have surged, with 80% of companies experiencing increased incidents, yet less than half feel prepared for future threats.
The integration of IT and OT brings substantial benefits for manufacturing but significantly heightens the risk and the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
