Manufacturing is a significant target for cyber-criminals. 60% of our members tell us they have at some time been subject to a cyber security incident, almost a third of whom suffered some financial loss or disruption to business as a result. There seems little doubt that many more attacks have gone undetected.
As a result, the need to have demonstrable cyber security safeguards in place is becoming ever more necessary to operate in the business environment. 41% of manufacturers report that they have already been asked by a customer to demonstrate or guarantee the robustness of their cyber security processes, and 37% have asked the same of a business within their supply chain. For the 31% of manufacturers who report that they could not do this if asked to today, business will become increasingly challenging.
This briefing looks at cyber security in manufacturing, the frameworks for mitigating business risk and how Make UK can help.
