Traditional approaches to integrating security and privacy for products can be slow, fragmented, and overwhelming for DevOps and Engineering teams. In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, ensuring your security meets industry standards is crucial.
Slow and siloed security integration can increase the risk of breaches, leaving your IoT products vulnerable to cyber threats.
Compliance with new regulations, such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and the US Cyber Trust Mark, is essential for market access.
With security teams often stretched thin, IoT devices, including medical devices, may become vulnerable to cybersecurity threats.
Cybersecurity Challenges in Manufacturing
Manufacturing environments often rely on outdated industrial control systems (ICS) that are vulnerable to cyberattacks. These systems were designed for reliability and efficiency, not security, making them prime targets for hackers. A breach can lead to operational downtime, safety hazards, and financial losses.
The interconnected nature of supply chains in manufacturing creates numerous entry points for cyber threats. A single weak link can expose the entire network to risks like data breaches, intellectual property theft, or ransomware attacks. Manufacturers must implement stringent security protocols, conduct thorough vetting of suppliers, and foster collaboration.
Manufacturing companies are often targets for intellectual property (IP) theft due to the high value of their proprietary designs, processes, and technologies. Cybercriminals can exploit vulnerabilities to steal sensitive information, leading to competitive disadvantages and significant financial damage. Protecting IP requires a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
Ransomware is a growing threat in the manufacturing sector, where downtime can result in severe financial and operational consequences. Preventing ransomware attacks involves implementing robust backup solutions, educating employees on phishing threats, and ensuring that all systems are patched and up-to-date.
