Manufacturing is now the most-attacked sector

Cyberattacks on manufacturers don’t just steal data — they can halt production lines, delay shipments, and shut down supply chains. Every hour of downtime can cost millions, making cyber resilience a top priority.

80%

Many manufacturers saw a sharp rise in cyber incidents in the last year.

26%

An impactful number of global cyberattacks now target manufacturing.

71%

Most manufacturing cyberattacks involve ransomware.

Challenges to manufacturing

Expanded connectivity

Smart factories link IT, OT, and IoT systems — every new connection creates another path for attackers to exploit.

Supply chain exposure

Vulnerabilities in third-party software, hardware, and logistics partners can cascade into plant disruptions and stalled production.

Operational downtime

Ransomware and other cyberattacks can halt assembly lines, damage equipment, and cause costly, prolonged outages.

We’re in the Post-Breach Era

Breaches aren’t a matter of if, but when. No matter how much you invest in security tools, attackers will find a way in.

Modern resilience isn’t about hoping to keep out every threat. It’s about containing them before they spread.

A Zero Trust approach limits the blast radius, stops attacks from spreading, and ensures that a breach doesn’t become a business-stopping disaster.

How segmentation strengthens cyber resilience in manufacturing

Watch the video to see how manufacturers protect operations and reduce downtime:

• Mapping critical IT–OT connections

• Containing attacks before they spread

• Adjusting policies in real time to stay resilient

Given the mathematical complexity of the interdependencies in a highly fragmented network, Illumio provides unparalleled and practical traffic transparency. This allows us to manage all traffic and to discover misconfigurations and malicious activity rapidly.

Modern segmentation for modern networks

Traditional security tools weren’t built for hybrid, multi-cloud environments. Illumio Segmentation applies the principles of Zero Trust to stop lateral movement and increase cyber resilience.
