The manufacturing industry faces major security risks due to complex networks, legacy systems, IoT connectivity, and external dependencies. Intellectual property is a prime target for cybercriminals, while attacks can disrupt production, causing costly downtime. Older systems lacking modern protections and unsecured IoT devices expand the attack surface with new vulnerabilities. Additionally, supply chain partners may unintentionally introduce security gaps. As connectivity grows, manufacturers must strengthen cybersecurity to protect operations, safeguard proprietary data, and maintain business continuity.
