The manufacturing sector is under siege from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. As factories embrace digital transformation by integrating cloud platforms, IoT-enabled machinery, and complex supply chains, their attack surface expands dramatically.

Manufacturing breaches are increasingly involving external actors, and threat actors are also evolving, leveraging Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), AI-driven tools, and stolen credentials to infiltrate networks faster than ever.

To combat these threats, manufacturers are turning to Managed Detection and Response (MDR), a proactive, scalable solution that integrates advanced telemetry, analytics, and expert human oversight.

Discover more about ESET's multilayered preventive approach and the top 5 reasons manufacturers are choosing ESET MDR to secure their operations and stay ahead of today’s most advanced cyber threats.
