Manufacturing and construction companies are prime targets for cyberattacks because your operations are so critical. You may be vulnerable to ransomware and extortion, especially if you haven't traditionally invested in cybersecurity. Plus, your interconnected networks and big financial transactions make them attractive to hackers, leading to potential supply chain breaches and big financial losses.
Leave your network and system security to experts that can keep watch for you 24/7 so you can focus on your day-to-day operations with peace of mind.
Construction and manufacturing industries have struggled to keep up with the latest cybersecurity measures compared to sectors like healthcare and banking. Outdated systems, inadequate firewalls, and interconnected networks across multiple sites and offices create vulnerabilities that have caught the interest of cybercriminals.
Cyberattacks can disrupt manufacturing and construction operations, leading to production delays, equipment malfunctions, and financial losses. These can often have far-reaching consequences, impacting your company and customers as well as suppliers and partners.
Hackers often target manufacturing and construction companies to steal valuable intellectual property—like product designs, manufacturing processes, or proprietary technologies—along with personnel records or financial information. These data breaches can result in significant financial losses and hurt your competitive advantage.
Construction projects typically involve many stakeholders, including subcontractors and suppliers, while manufacturing processes involve several steps along the supply chain. Even if a cyber breach didn’t occur on your end, the interdependency still exposes your business to risk. In other words, a breach in the supply chain could create a disruption that quickly spills over to all the other companies connected to it.
Let Huntress’ Managed EDR platform give you peace of mind and protection by handling cybersecurity for your manufacturing and construction operations and devices. Our human-led Security Operations Center keeps a constant watch on your endpoints and identities so you don’t have to, detecting and responding to any suspicious activity 24/7. If we spot a threat, our team jumps in to investigate, contain, and remove it. We’ll also guide you through cleanup and recovery afterward, if needed.
