For years, the manufacturing sector operated under the "security through obscurity" model relying on air-gapped systems and proprietary protocols to stay off the radar of mainstream cybercriminals. According to the Huntress 2026 Cyber Threat Report, those days are officially over. Manufacturing has emerged as one of the most targeted industries, not necessarily because its data is the most valuable, but because its tolerance for downtime is the lowest. In an industry where "minutes equal million

Executive Summary from Fortinet - Not long ago, the operational technology (OT) networks used in environments such as factories and critical infrastructure were air-gapped, meaning they were not connected to the internet. But today, the once-siloed worlds of OT and information technology (IT) are seeing greater interconnectivity due to digital transformation and support for scarce or remote workers. This connectivity can enhance production via data sharing and new cloud-based tools that allow
Adaptive security is a cybersecurity model with four phases, prediction, prevention, detection, and response. The process was developed in response to the decentralization of IT ecosystems to accommodate hybrid working environments and the porting of systems to the cloud.
The perimeter that once defined a network no longer exists. Organizations are leveraging cloud technology and shifting towards hybrid work environments. The de-centralization of IT ecosystems is becoming increasingly difficu
During October 2021, the cyber sector celebrated the 18th year of the Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which was previously known as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Under the slogan “Do Your Part #BeCyberSmart”, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) together with the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) each year encourage individuals and organizations to own their role in protecting cyberspace by emphasizing personal accountability and the importance of taking pr
