Top Five Cyber Security Challenges in the Manufacturing Industry

Legacy Systems and Equipment Vulnerabilities

Many manufacturing facilities use outdated, legacy systems that were not designed with cyber security in mind. These systems often lack necessary security features and are difficult to update, so they’re easy targets for cyber attackers.

Manufacturing companies have complex systems and supply chains involving multiple third-party vendors. These vendors may have weaker cyber security defences. This is a problem because it creates vulnerabilities. Compromised suppliers can lead to data breaches and production disruptions.

ICS and OT are increasingly connected to IT networks but are often poorly protected against cyber threats. A cyber attack on these systems can cause significant production disruptions and safety hazards.

The manufacturing industry is a prime target for ransomware attacks due to its critical operations. Cyber criminals know manufacturers cannot afford downtimes and may be forced to pay ransoms.

Employees, contractors, or insiders can pose significant cyber security risks, either maliciously or accidentally. These threats are difficult to detect in complex manufacturing environments. Insider attacks can lead to data theft, sabotage, and unauthorised access to sensitive systems.
