Identifying Cyber Risk for Manufacturing supply chains

Manufacturing's Digital Leap Created a Cyber Chasm. It's Time to Bridge It.

The manufacturing industry's rapid digital transformation has profoundly expanded its attack surface. This has made it a prime target for ransomware attacks. In fact, manufacturing accounts for 21% of all ransomware incidents across industries, leaving cybersecurity defenses struggling to keep pace. Supply chain analysts are left wrestling with uncertainty over the control and visibility of their data in complex cloud environments. 

Black Kite cuts through this complexity, providing easy-to-understand letter grade ratings and translating nuanced cyber risk into actionable insights your business can understand and manage.

Unmask Your Supply Chain's Silent Threats

TManufacturing is the number one industry targeted for ransomware attacks. Why? Our research reveals that 80% of manufacturing companies harbor critical vulnerabilities ripe for exploitation. So your entire supply chain often holds the very weaknesses attackers seek.

But there’s hope. While Ransomware Susceptibility Index® (RSI™) scores for manufacturing universally exceed the critical threshold, it also provides the clarity needed to see where you're exposed and how to take action.
