CYBERSECURITY IN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
A successful cyberattack has the potential to bring your manufacturing operations to a standstill, leading to financial losses and reputational damage. Manufacturing organizations often house sensitive data, including client information and valuable intellectual property, making them prime targets for data breaches. Here’s an overview of how cybercriminals might target your manufacturing company:
The manufacturing industry is especially susceptible to phishing scams, where attackers attempt to deceive employees into disclosing their personal information. For instance, a hacker might send an email that appears to be from a company administrator, requesting the employee to provide their login credentials.
Numerous manufacturing companies have internet-connected systems and depend on databases for their operations. In the event of a hacker gaining access to your company’s data, they might encrypt it and demand a ransom for its release.
Employees have been known to carry out cyberattacks with motives such as stealing information, causing damage for personal amusement, or gaining a competitive edge. Such actions may occur in response to past grievances or a contentious termination.
Operational Technology (OT) devices, such as industrial robots, are commonly utilized in manufacturing and can be susceptible to acts of sabotage. This might entail disabling the robot or introducing a virus that disrupts its normal functioning.
