Cyber Security Insurance for Manufacturing
Find out how cyber insurance for the manufacturing industry can help protect your business and mitigate cyber risks..
As manufacturing organisations embrace digital transformation, technological advancements have enhanced everything from production efficiency to supply chain logistics. However, these innovations also bring an increased risk of cyber security vulnerabilities.

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Many manufacturing facilities use outdated, legacy systems that were not designed with cyber security in mind.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.
Supply Chain Risks
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.
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) Security
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.
Ransomware
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.
Insider Threats
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.
