Ransomware attacks in manufacturing are on the rise

More than half of manufacturing organizations were hit with ransomware attacks in the last year, according to recent findings from cybersecurity firm Sophos, an uptick from the prior year. The industry remains a top target for attackers. More than a third of manufacturers paid the ransom in an attempt to get their data back. More importantly, only 1 in 4 companies were able to thwart the attacks before their data was fully encrypted.

Why is ransomware in manufacturing so bad?

Because an attack can be disruptive, manufacturing has become a prime target for cybercriminals. When a ransomware event disrupts production, manufacturers are desperate to get their data back as quickly as possible, to avoid possible business disruption that can last days, weeks – even months – resulting in both financial loss and reputational damage.

Because of this, some manufacturers are willing to pay a ransom (even when there’s no guarantee that attackers will deliver a decryption key). This makes the industry very lucrative for attackers, along with other top-targeted sectors, like healthcare and finance.

In 2023, IBM found that manufacturing has been the most targeted industry for ransomware attacks for the previous two years.
