The TCS Risk & Cybersecurity Study: Manufacturing Report
Complex older systems, a false sense of security, a skills gap, splintered oversight and the need to balance uptime with security leave critical manufacturing systems vulnerable.

The manufacturer’s paradox
Securing equipment that must also be always available, producing and safe is perhaps beyond the scope of many manufacturing firms’ skill sets. And they may not even know it.
Challenges abound
Manufacturers have been hit on all sides in recent years by pandemic shutdowns, fractured supply chains, and economic headwinds. With all these, cybersecurity starts to feel like a "nice to have"—despite the rapid rise in cyberattacks across the industry.
Old systems are up against new threats
Legacy IT systems—and sometimes decades-old OT systems—combine to make fighting off cyber intruders a challenge that’s beyond the capabilities of a majority of manufacturers today.
Despite the challenges, there’s a way forward
Every firm is different, but this report includes our recommendations for manufacturers as a way to start mitigating the risks better.
One in a series of reports
The TCS Risk & Cybersecurity Study surveyed over 600 CISOs and CROs in North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom to learn what cyber challenges companies face today and how prepared they are for next-gen attacks.
About the study
TCS Thought Leadership Institute conducted this study of more than 600 CISOs and CROs early in 2022 amid an unprecedented upsurge in increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks from criminals, sovereign states, and other bad actors exploiting global socio-political and economic tensions. The survey respondents were drawn from North American, European, and UK-headquartered companies in four industries facing an unprecedented onslaught of cyber threats and increased risks, whether to business data, customer data, their operations, trade secrets, or their supply chains: banking and financial services, manufacturing, utilities, and media and information services.
