Manufacturing companies operating in the US and/or EU face complex OT security challenges due to the convergence of legacy industrial systems with modern IT infrastructure, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and geographically dispersed operations.
These environments often rely on decades-old equipment that lacks native cybersecurity controls, making them vulnerable to modern threats such as ransomware and supply chain compromises.
The need to maintain high availability and safety in production processes limits the feasibility of traditional IT security practices like frequent patching or system reboots. Furthermore, compliance with stringent regulations—such as NIS2 in the EU or sector-specific guidance from NIST in the US—requires tailored security architectures, rigorous access control, continuous monitoring, and incident response plans that consider both cyber and physical impacts.
Balancing operational continuity, cross-border data integrity, and evolving cyber risks places immense demand on manufacturers to adopt a resilient, layered OT security approach that is both proactive and adaptive.
