e2e-assure’s recent study* shows there is a genuine cause for concern for the Manufacturing industry, with few describing themselves as resilient (19%).

Given the complexity and breadth of third parties within the supply chain, each with their own attack vectors, the Manufacturing industry will always be highly vulnerable to cyber attacks. A strong relationship with providers is integral to cyber resilience, especially for organisations that are having to get to grips with new forms of smart technology being rapidly deployed across their industry.

When an incident or breach occurs, providers can enhance an organisation’s response capabilities, offering rapid assistance and plugging gaps that could be missed by an in-house team working alone. The sector understands the potential value here, with the majority (54%) of Manufacturing organisations having opted for a fully outsourced cyber security provision, but are they getting the level of service they deserve?

At e2e-assure, we have been working with Manufacturing organisations to shore up their cyber defences for the past ten years and are repeatedly called upon to help in the aftermath of an attack. But we need to consider the provider’s role before an attack, to prevent it completely.

So, how are providers failing Manufacturing organisations? And what questions should the industry be asking of their providers, to drive better resilience for an industry forever vulnerable?
