Protecting manufacturing: key cybersecurity challenges
Ransomware Threats Are Escalating
Manufacturers are increasingly targeted by ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks. These threats can halt production, compromise sensitive data, and damage customer trust. Protecting uptime and intellectual property is now a top priority.
Security Teams Are Understaffed
Many manufacturing organizations operate with lean IT teams and lack dedicated cybersecurity personnel. This makes it difficult to monitor threats around the clock, respond quickly, and stay ahead of evolving risks.
Compliance Pressure from Clients and Regulators
Manufacturers working with government agencies or large enterprises face strict security and data protection requirements. Meeting these expectations, while maintaining operational efficiency, requires robust, scalable security solutions that support audits and regulatory standards.
Bridging the Air-Gap in Industry 4.0
Legacy OT systems weren’t built for connectivit, but Industry 4.0 demands it. Explore how ESET helps manufacturing security leaders protect hybrid and air-gapped environments, secure sensitive R&D and IP, and enable safe IT/OT convergence. Learn how MDR and XDR solutions from ESET align with your operational realities and business goals.
