Manufacturers ‘wide open to attack’

Editorial Type: News     Date: 09-2015    Views: 1449   






Manufacturers are leaving themselves wide open to attack from bad actors. While 73% of IT directors in the sector think they are adequately protected from internal and external threats, the data shows it is one of the weakest sectors in the UK economy for ensuring adequate access controls, according to the latest survey by SecureAuth.

A recent UK government report, the ‘2015 Information Security Breaches Survey’, laid bare the extent of the problem ‒ 90% of large organisations and 74% of small businesses across all sectors in the UK suffered significant security breaches in the past 12 months, with damage to corporate reputation and physical costs as a result.

Craig Lund, CEO of SecureAuth, commented: “The perception and reality of IT protection in the manufacturing sector is badly misaligned. Questions must therefore be posed as to whether manufacturing businesses are acutely aware of the threats to their data and accurately assessing the risks of a potential breach.”
