Common Security Challenges Faced by Manufacturing Companies

Why the Manufacturing Industry Requires Cybersecurity

A successful hack can potentially halt production, resulting in financial losses and damaging your reputation. Furthermore, manufacturing organisations frequently store sensitive data, such as client information and intellectual property, that could be stolen during a data breach.

Here's how cybercriminals might attack your manufacturing company:

The manufacturing industry is particularly vulnerable to phishing scams when attackers try to trick employees into revealing their personal information. For example, a hacker may send out an email that appears to be from a company administrator and request that the employee enters their login credentials.

Many manufacturing companies have systems connected to the internet and rely on databases to function. If a hacker gains access to your company's data, they may encrypt it and demand money to release it to you.

Employees have been known to execute cyberattacks to steal information, destroy systems for their own amusement, or gain an advantage in a competition. An employee may do such a thing in the event of a previous grievance or difficult dismissal.

OT devices, such as industrial robots, are often used in manufacturing and can be vulnerable to sabotage. This could involve disabling the robot or planting a virus that will cause it to malfunction.
