SMMs Have More to Lose From a Cyberattack

Cybersecurity for small and medium manufacturers

Manufacturing is now the most targeted industry for cybersecurity attacks!*

Small to Medium Sized Manufacturers Have More to Lose from Cyberattacks.  Larger manufacturing operations have a depth of resources to implement effective cybersecurity measures.  With their complex operational and IT systems, bigger shops tend to be better prepared to defend against, detect, and recover from a cybersecurity incident quickly.  Hackers know this, and they know that small to medium-sized manufacturers are usually less well-protected, making them soft targets.  In fact, over 60% of small businesses have experienced a cyberattack in the last 12 months, and with odds like that, your business could be next.  Whatever the size of your manufacturing business, you need to protect against cyber threats, and Kansas Manufacturing Solutions has valuable resources to help you with cybersecurity at your facility.

What can you do to protect yourself?
