Manufacturing cyber security risks

Manufacturers are a favourite ransomware target.

Attackers know every hour of downtime costs you, so they push manufacturers to pay fast. Businesses with turnover over $3 million must now report ransomware payments to the Department of Home Affairs within 72 hours.

  • Flat networks

    When office PCs and production machines share one network, an infected laptop can reach the production line. Segmentation contains it.

  • Vendor remote access

    Always-on remote tools installed by machine vendors are a common way in. We control, log and time-limit them.

  • Machines you can’t patch

    Older equipment often runs unsupported Windows. We isolate what can’t be updated, so you don’t have to replace it.

  1. Are office and production networks separated?

    The single biggest factor in how far an attack spreads.

  2. Is vendor remote access controlled and logged?

    Unmanaged vendor tools are a common entry point.

  3. Are machines that can’t be patched isolated?

    Legacy systems can stay if they’re contained.

  4. Are ERP and production data backed up offline, with a tested restore?

    Recovery speed decides how long production stops.

  5. Is multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforced on email and remote access?

    Most attacks start with a stolen password.

  6. Does your incident plan say who decides to stop production?

    Nobody should make that call for the first time mid-attack.
