Manufacturing

With manufacturers more vulnerable than ever to cybercrime, do you have a strategy in place for protecting your business, customers and partners?

Overview

Why Cybersecurity is Important for Manufacturers

With the adoption of automated supply chains, otherwise known as the Industry 4.0, the risks and the severity of a cyberattack are growing exponentially. Hackers seek to find any vulnerable entry points in your Internet-facing systems to gain access to other internal systems. This allows them to attack your production line – in some cases even halting the production completely.  This is why it is fundamental to regularly test your industrial systems and internet-facing systems to determine what could happen if hackers targeted them.

From automotive to energy providers, engineering to aerospace, manufacturing companies are proving to be susceptible to the latest cyber threats. A recent threat actor report revealed that one-third of all attacks were on manufacturers’ computers (Q1 2017 Kaspersky Labs).

Challanges

Common cybersecurity challenges faced by the Manufacturing Industry:
  1. Combatting industrial espionage and operational disruption
  2. Detecting and responding to data breaches
  3. Managing security in the era of Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0
  4. Mitigating cyber security risks across the supply chain
  5. Identifying and fixing ICS / SCADA system vulnerabilities.
  6. Maintaining the continuity of production following a cyber attack.
  7. Ensuring the security of systems while improving their efficiency.

Key Questions to Assess Your Cybersecurity

  1. How often are Industrial Control Systems tested for vulnerabilities?
  2. Are suitable controls in place to detect and respond to threats?
  3. How are supply chain security risks managed?
  4. What systems and controls are in place to mitigate insider threats?
  5. How regularly are systems backed up to avoid data loss in the event of ransomware?
  6. Are staff sufficiently trained about the latest cyber security risks?
