The Threat Landscape for Manufacturers
Modern manufacturing heavily relies on interconnected systems, including industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT). These systems, if not adequately secured, can provide entry points for attackers.
Complex Supply Chains
Manufacturing often involves a network of suppliers, distributors, and partners. Weaknesses in any part of the chain can create vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
Legacy Systems
Many manufacturers still use outdated software that may have unpatched security holes, making them susceptible to known attacks.
