Industrial Cybersecurity: How Digital Attacks Stop Physical Production
This report explores rising cybersecurity threats in industries, focusing on manufacturing's growing vulnerability to ransomware.
Download to discover:
- IT Availability Dictates Physical Output: Operational downtime is frequently triggered by disruptions to enterprise IT platforms—such as ERP, MES, and remote access systems—rather than specialized ICS malware
- Dominance of Familiar Entry Vectors: The majority of industrial breaches stem from basic access weaknesses, led by vulnerability exploitation (38%), phishing (13%), credential abuse (11%), and third-party supplier exposure (61%)
- Critical Visibility and Containment Deficits: Defensive blind spots remain widespread, with 56% of organizations unable to monitor activity below the IT/OT boundary , driving the average detection and containment window for OT ransomware to 42 days.
