Manufacturers today face a barrage of cybersecurity threats and at least 50% of the companies have fallen to a data breach in the last 12 months according to the 2019 Manufacturing and Distribution Report. Many manufacturing and logistics companies have systems that are weak by design because of a failure to be held to industry compliance standards.
Today’s digital technologies such as Internet of Things (IOT), artificial intelligence and robotics can increase your vulnerabilities to the growing threat of cyber attacks and data breaches. Data breaches in this industry are not usually publicly disclosed because the information stolen is not necessarily subject to legal disclosure and regulations. This makes it appear as though manufacturers are attacked less often than they usually are. Hackers in this industry are prone to targeting trade secrets and intellectual property.
Maintaining a trusted supply chain in multiple locations with vendors and clients requires a fast, efficient and secure IT environment for manufacturers and distribution companies.
