Increasing Cyber Resilience Against Cyber Threats Impacting the Manufacturing Industry

As manufacturing organizations become more connected, the threat surface has increased substantially. Automation, artificial intelligence, embedded sensors, cloud applications and centralized management systems have enabled new processes and products, greater efficiencies and higher revenues.

While manufacturers are rapidly adopting connected devices, automation technologies, and cloud enabled platforms, private and nation state threat actors see a vast attack surface with vulnerable systems and valuable data.

In this threat intelligence spotlight report, eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) provides a threat analysis of the most common cyber threats detected across our global manufacturing customer base.

Key takeaways include:

• Factors that have led to a rise of cyberattacks against the manufacturing sector
• The most impactful cyber threats (e.g., Emotet, Qakbot, Socgholish, etc.) and attacker tactics used to target manufacturing organizations based on TRU’s threat research
• How your manufacturing organization can build a foundation of cyber resilience
• Recommendations from TRU on how your organization can reduce the risk of downtime and revenue disruption
