Cybersecurity for the
Manufacturing Industry
Why Cybersecurity is Important for Manufacturers
With the adoption of automated supply chains, otherwise known as the Industry 4.0, the risks and the severity of a cyberattack are growing exponentially. Hackers seek to find any vulnerable entry points in your Internet-facing systems to gain access to other internal systems. This allows them to attack your production line – in some cases even halting the production completely. This is why it is fundamental to regularly test your industrial systems and internet-facing systems to determine what could happen if hackers targeted them.
“The Norsk Hydro cyberattack cost around $71 million for the manufacturing company, stopping the supply chain entirely for multiple consecutive days.”
The manufacturing industry faced 89 large data breaches in 2019
Supply chain cyberattacks increased by 78% in 2019
