Top 4 Cybersecurity Threats: The Cybersecurity Threats Manufacturers Should Prioritize Now
Nearly half of manufacturing organizations experienced a data breach in the past two years, making the industry a prime target for cybercriminals. To help manufacturers navigate the evolving threat landscape, Splunk’s Threat Research Team has identified the top cybersecurity threats that should be prioritized today.
The four key threats impacting manufacturers are:
- Ransomware Attacks – Targeting critical infrastructure to halt production and demand hefty ransoms.
- Supply Chain Vulnerabilities – Weak links in supplier networks leave manufacturers exposed to data breaches.
- Intellectual Property Theft – Hackers seeking proprietary information to disrupt operations and gain competitive advantages.
- Insider Threats – Employees, whether intentional or negligent, pose a significant risk to data security.
Understanding how these attacks occur is crucial for strengthening defenses. Manufacturers must address gaps in their digital infrastructure while scaling innovation to remain resilient.
