Manufacturing downtime cost scale

Why manufacturers are target number one

Manufacturing has topped IBM X-Force's most-attacked list for five consecutive years - 27.7% of incidents in the 2026 index - with downtime costs reaching $260,000 per hour and 87% of attacks originating from phishing. IT-OT convergence, legacy systems and deep supplier meshes explain the economics; people are the entry point.

Training that reaches the floor

The Self Adapting AI SAT generates each person's training from role, real behavior and your operational context - OT security, removable media and physical security for site staff; invoice fraud and data handling for the office. Shift-friendly microlearning on shared terminals and mobile, multilingual by default, WCAG 2.2 AA accessible. The technician maintaining a connected sensor is making security decisions every shift - the training finally acknowledges it.

Practice the incidents that stop lines

Cyber Ranges rehearse what your incident data fears: the USB found in the car park, the 'supplier' calling the control room, the deepfake voice approving an urgent payment. The Autonomous AI Phishing Simulator pressure-tests office staff continuously with lures built from real attacks hitting your industry - via the Real Time Threats Engine - and the Nudging Engine corrects high risk behavior in the moment, in Teams.
Manufacturing plant-level risk evidence table

Evidence by site, plant and business unit

Human Risk Intelligence quantifies risk across populations - office vs floor, staff vs contractor, plant vs plant - so you direct attention where exposure actually is and report to the Board with evidence, not activity. Where NIS2 pulls your entities into scope, the same program produces the training obligation and the proof.
