Industries, especially those relying on heavy machinery, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure, have become prime targets for cyberattacks. As industrial operations increasingly adopt digital technologies, the risk of cyber vulnerabilities grows. Attackers target these industries because a single breach can disrupt production, damage equipment, and cause significant financial losses. The reliance on interconnected systems makes it easier for hackers to infiltrate networks and exploit vulnerabilities.

Moreover, industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) often lack robust cybersecurity measures, making them more vulnerable to attacks. Industries handling sensitive data, such as power plants or oil and gas companies, face heightened risks because their operations directly affect public safety and national security.

“Cybersecurity is no longer an IT issue, but a business imperative.”

Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon Web Services (AWS).

To mitigate these risks, industries must invest in cybersecurity infrastructure to safeguard their operations from future attacks.
