Unified Cyber Defense for the Manufacturing Industry
Protect production environments, secure critical systems, and stop identity-driven attacks across the entire manufacturing supply chain.
How Cynet Secures the Manufacturing Industry
Manufacturers operate in one of the most targeted and operationally fragile sectors. Wildly distributed environments, aging systems, mixed cloud & on-prem infrastructure, and identity sprawl make it difficult for security teams to maintain visibility and resilience. Production uptime, intellectual property protection, and supply chain integrity depend on preventing cyberattacks and disruptions. Yet, adversaries increasingly leverage credential misuse, ransomware, lateral movement across systems, and vulnerabilities in third-party integrations.
Metrics
Manufacturing organizations saw a 139% increase in targeted attack incidents from 2024 to 2025.
At $5.56M, manufacturing had the third-highest average breach cost, behind healthcare and financial services.
Manufacturing is the #1 targeted industry, four years in a row representing 26% of all incidents.
Why Manufacturers Cynet
Protect Production Lines, Critical Systems, and Plant-Floor Identities
Manufacturing environments feature a mix of legacy equipment, specialized user accounts, machine identities, and modern cloud-based systems. Attackers often target these identities to manipulate production logic or gain access into the environment.
Cynet secures manufacturing operations by:
Continuously monitoring high risk identities across critical systems, terminals, engineering workstations, and remote maintenance accounts. Through CyAI and Cynet’s 24x7 MDR CyOps team, automatic isolation of compromised identities and endpoints are prevented, leading to seamless production motions and secure production networks.
Prevent Ransomware & Downtime Across Production Environments
Ransomware can halt manufacturing operations, freeze plant-floor systems, disrupt robotics and PLC communications, and cascade through global supply chains.
Cynet strengthens supply chain resilience by:
Early detection of ransomware and anomaly behaviors across endpoints, engineering tools, critical systems, and network traffic. Leveraging SOAR playbooks to rapidly contain threats and isolate impacted devices, Cynet supports production environments uptime and security.
Secure the Supply Chain, Third-Party Access, and Distributed Facilities
Manufacturers rely on complex supply-chain partnerships, contractors, and remote integrators who often require elevated access, making them perfect for adversaries.
Cynet strengthens supply chain resilience by:
Monitoring identity behavior and privilege changes across all remote access points and detecting anomalous connections, data exfiltration attempts, and adjacent network scanning via NDR and UBA. By enforcing least-privilege access, Cynet prevents unauthorized changes in production logic and manufacturing systems.
Protect Intellectual Property, R&D Systems & Connected Cloud Applications
Intellectual property is the most valuable asset in manufacturing, making R&D environments a prime target for attackers.
Cynet secures high value assets by:
Detecting unauthorized file access, suspicious process behavior, and anomalous data transfer activity. By correlating signals across endpoints, cloud apps, network traffic, and end user behavior, Cynet can automatically block malicious domains, isolate compromised accounts, and stop exfiltration attempts.
Maintain Compliance & Audit Readiness Across Manufacturing Environments
Regulatory and insurer demands around visibility, logging, and response capability continue to rise for manufacturing systems.
Cynet supports manufacturing organizations' compliance and regulatory requirements through:
Achieving audit-ready visibility across endpoints, users, identities, cloud, and network and automating log collection and compliance reporting through CLM and SIEM. Cynet provides clear attack timelines, IOCs, and remediation instructions for manufacturing environments via CyAI and our 24x7 MDR CyOps team.
Where Operational Efficiency Meets Unified Cyber Defense
Manufacturers often manage security with teams stretched across front office, supply chain, and plant floor responsibilities, all while confronting threats that continue to evolve in speed, scale, and sophistication. Cynet removes operational strain by delivering broad, unified protection without the overhead of managing multiple tools. Manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and assemblers can finally strengthen security without slowing production or overextending their teams.
