Beyond the Numbers

In addition to the hard numbers defining the cybersecurity state of this sector, the reports will cover how the broader issue of the problems caused by the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the increasing adoption of cloud-based platforms that have dramatically expanded the connectivity of manufacturing systems.

While these innovations offer significant benefits in terms of efficiency, automation, and data analysis, the reports explain how these changes introduce a broader attack surface for cybercriminals to exploit. Manufacturing environments that were once isolated from external networks are now interconnected, creating new entry points for malicious actors.
