This false sense of security is dangerous given the state of global industry ; last year saw manufacturing outpace financial services for the dubious honour of the sector
most targeted by cyber criminals , according to Geert van der Linden , Cybersecurity Business Lead at Capgemini .
Legacy technology dating back to the days when cybersecurity wasn ’ t even a consideration has created opportunities for attackers to exploit . The sector ’ s transition to smart factories has also prompted complex cybersecurity questions that organisations need to address , explains van der Linden .
“ Our recent research shows that 40 % of organisations have been victim to a cyberattack that impacted their smart factories in the past year , and this is only going to become more common if organisations don ’ t react ,” he says .
Improved visibility of networked devices is essential to detect when they have been compromised and regular system-risk assessments are useful in helping to prevent attacks , but a great deal more needs to be done if global business is to face down the threats of rampant ransomware and cyber attacks .
