Manufacturing industry at higher risk of cyberattacks thanks to industrial IoT – TechRepublic
The manufacturing industry is displaying higher rates of cyberattack-related lateral movement and reconnaissance, according to a Vectra report released on Wednesday. This is due to the confluence of both operational technology and enterprise information technology networks, said the report.
While the retail, financial, and healthcare industries have appeared to be the main focus for cybercriminals, intellectual property theft and business disruption have made manufacturers increasingly attractive targets, said the release.
