Did you know manufacturing is the #1 targeted industry for cyberattacks in 2024?
From ransomware shutting down production lines to supply chain breaches leading to lawsuits, the risks are greater than ever. Just last year:
- MKS Instruments lost $200M in sales after a ransomware attack
- Clorox’s cyberattack cost them $49M and months of downtime
- Yanfeng’s breach halted North American production, leading to a $26M lawsuit from Stellantis
Why Leadership Must Take Cybersecurity Seriously
Many manufacturing leaders believe cybersecurity is just an IT issue, but the reality is it’s a business risk that requires executive approval.
- Cyber threats impact the bottom line. When Clorox lost $49M due to a cyberattack, it wasn’t an IT problem—it was a financial disaster.
- Regulatory and legal risks are growing. Companies are now facing SEC-mandated cybersecurity disclosures and lawsuits from supply chain partners after breaches.
- Cyber insurance alone isn’t enough. Insurers are increasing premiums and limiting payouts. The only way to mitigate risk is to invest in proactive security measures.
