Are manufacturers truly prepared for the relentless threat of ransomware?
In 2023, a staggering 56% of manufacturing organizations were hit by ransomware, with 68% of these attacks resulting in encrypted data.
Yet only 88% of affected manufacturers managed to recover their data - well below the 97% cross-sector average.
Our Chief Security and Trust Officer, Ben Carr, discusses the risks - and consequences - of ransomware attacks against manufacturers, including:
Costly Production Halts: Downtime from ransomware attacks costs millions in lost output, missed deadlines, and broken supply chain commitments.
Vulnerability to Social Engineering: With 41% of attacks originating from phishing or malicious emails, manufacturing is heavily targeted through exploited employee access and poor credential management.
Intellectual Property at Risk: From proprietary designs to customer data, compromised systems can expose sensitive IP and jeopardize competitive advantage.
Pressure to Pay: The need to keep production lines running often leads manufacturers to pay large ransoms, making them a prime target for RaaS groups.
Regulatory and Contractual Consequences: A ransomware breach can violate regulations like NIST and CMMC, leading to costly compliance fines and endangering contractual obligations.
Don’t let ransomware disrupt your production lines.
The Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform offers an AI/ML-powered solution trained on millions of ransomware samples.
It defeats ransomware through built-in bypass and evasion protection, automated decryption, and prevention of data exfiltration, all while seamlessly integrating into existing IT systems without disrupting daily manufacturing operations.
