Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's manufacturers could expose production lines, product designs and customer orders, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why manufacturers are targeted: Manufacturing is the most attacked sector worldwide for ransomware, because downtime on the factory floor costs thousands per hour.
