Manufacturers offer cybercriminals a complex environment with a wide-open attack surface. Large operating technology (OT) deployments complicate the process of establishing and enforcing organization-wide security policies in a consistent way. 

Manufacturing organizations dealing with a chronic lack of trained security personnel may not be able to secure new OT deployments in a timely manner. These unmanaged OT devices offer no visibility to information security teams, making them the perfect hiding place for sophisticated threat actors. 

In 2024, the average cost of ransomware attacks against manufacturers hit $1.67 million—a 64% increase from the previous year. Manufacturing is quickly becoming one of the highest-targeted sectors, often due to successful business email compromise (BEC) attacks and limited visibility into OT deployments. 

Manufacturers don’t need to struggle against complex and rapidly-evolving cyber threats. Bringing in reputable third-party managed security experts enables the in-house security team to focus on high-impact strategic tasks that boost operational security for the whole organization—and spend less time detecting and investigating alerts.

Lumifi provides manufacturing security leaders with a comprehensive solution for detecting and responding to cyber threats through its proprietary SOC automation platform, ShieldVision™.
