2025 MANUFACTURING REPORT: WHY YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN IS YOUR BIGGEST CYBER RISK 


New 2025 data reveals that manufacturing remains ransomware's #1 target for the fourth year in a row with attacks climbing by 9% since last year. The threat is severe for large enterprises, since 39% of all ransomware victims earning over $1 billion are in the manufacturing sector.

There are many opportunities for exploitation. Among manufacturing companies:

  • 75% have critical vulnerabilities (CVSS score 8 or above) in their ecosystem.
  • 64% have at least one vulnerability listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog.
  • 15% have had leaked credentials in the last 90 days.

This report provides the hard data and expert analysis you need to understand the pervasive nature of third-party weaknesses and how to stop the cascading impact a single supplier incident can have on your production.
