Cybersecurity in manufacturing: Why SMEs are particularly at risk
The digital transformation has revolutionized the manufacturing industry. But as the opportunities of networking grow, so do the risks. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) warns: 70 percent of all bot activities in Germany are harmful - an alarming trend that particularly affects SMEs.The underestimated threat
"We're too small for hackers" - this dangerous misconception could cost you dearly. SMEs in particular are popular targets for attacks, as they often lack the resources for comprehensive security systems. The consequences of a successful attack can be devastating: production downtime, data loss or complete system failure.Effective protection does not have to be complex
You can protect your company effectively with targeted measures- Technical basis: modern firewalls, regular updates, secure backups
- Employee training: regular security training and clear guidelines
- Data separation: physically separate critical systems from everyday processes
- Emergency plan: Clear processes in the event of an attack
Investing in the future
Experts recommend budgeting around ten percent of the IT budget for security measures. A manageable investment compared to the potential costs of a cyber attack.
