Manufacturers are a high target for cybercriminals. Hackers seek to infiltrate intellectual property, customer financial information, and propriety information, as well as attack control systems that disrupt production processes.
Ransomware: Manufacturers have an extremely low tolerance for downtime with the production process. Attackers use malware to hack operational technology, such as ICS for financial gain.
Data Exfiltration: Disgruntled employees have direct access to various systems and can act maliciously by carrying out unauthorized
data transfers.
Third-Party Tactics: Adversaries leverage third parties to conduct espionage, steal proprietary information, or initiate a potentially
disruptive OT attack.
Phishing Attacks: Cybercriminals often reach out to other factory employees or executives from a victim’s corporate email address to solicit personal information, gain access to accounts, or for financial schemes.
Insider Threats: Hackers can gain a foothold when employees are connecting to business networks from several devices, including
mobile, instead of company-issued and vetted machines.
