Penetration Testing for Manufacturing Companies

Manufacturing companies face ransomware gangs targeting production lines, nation-state actors stealing IP, and attackers who exploit connections between IT and operational technology.

Why Manufacturing Companies Are Targeted

Manufacturing is the most attacked industry for ransomware, representing 25% of all incidents in 2024. The average manufacturing ransomware attack causes 21 days of downtime and costs $1.97 million. Attackers know manufacturers will pay to avoid production shutdowns and can't tolerate extended outages without massive revenue loss.

OT/IT convergence creates new attack paths

Connecting factory floors to corporate networks for efficiency and monitoring opens industrial control systems to internet-based attacks. Once attackers compromise IT systems, they pivot to SCADA, PLCs, and HMIs controlling production lines.

IP theft targets R&D and product designs

Nation-state actors and competitors steal CAD files, manufacturing processes, supplier lists, and proprietary formulas. A single breach can eliminate years of competitive advantage and cost millions in lost market position.

Legacy industrial systems can't be patched

Manufacturing equipment has 20-30 year lifecycles but runs outdated control systems and embedded software. Many PLCs and HMIs run Windows XP or custom operating systems with no security updates available. These systems remain connected to networks with unfixable vulnerabilities.

Remote access is poorly secured

Manufacturers provide vendors and technicians remote access to equipment for maintenance and troubleshooting. These connections often bypass security controls, use default credentials, or lack multi-factor authentication, creating backdoor entry points.

We don’t just hand you a static PDF and walk away. Every single engagement includes full access to our Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) platform at no extra cost. It’s the modern way to manage your security without the headaches of email threads and spreadsheets.

Real-Time Visibility: See critical risks the moment our hackers find them so you can start fixing immediately.

Jira Integration: Push remediation tickets directly to your engineering team where they actually work.

One-Click Compliance: Generate the audit-ready reports you need for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 instantly.

Manufacturing Moves Slow. Your Security Shouldn’t.

Forget the spreadsheets and the waiting games. We give you a modern platform that keeps up with real-time threats.

Compliance and Requirements for Manufacturing

NIST CSF is the baseline framework for manufacturing cybersecurity. Defense contractors must meet CMMC requirements to handle CUI. Export-controlled manufacturers need ITAR compliance. ISO 27001 certification is increasingly required by customers and insurers. Cyber insurance now mandates security testing and OT/IT segmentation documentation.

What We Test

Our penetration tests are tailored to healthcare environments, covering the systems and workflows where breaches cause the most damage.

Industrial Control Systems & SCADA

Testing PLCs, HMIs, SCADA platforms, and industrial protocols for vulnerabilities that could disrupt production or safety.

OT / IT Network Segmentation

Assessment of segmentation to ensure attackers can’t pivot from corporate IT into production environments.

Remote Access & Vendor Connectivity

Testing VPNs, remote desktop, and vendor access paths for weak authentication, default credentials, and MFA gaps.

Manufacturing & Engineering Systems

Assessment of MES, CAD, and PLM platforms for data manipulation and IP theft risks across production and design environments.
