Manufacturing
Faction gives Small to Mid-Sized Manufacturers (SMMs) all of the benefits of Zero Trust Networking with none of the headaches to protect your critical production lines - and data too
THE CHALLENGE
SMMs face unique cybersecurity challenges. Hackers are constantly evolving their tactics, and your valuable data, intellectual property, and production processes are at risk.
Manufacturing is Rich with High Value Targets
All manufacturers face unique cybersecurity challenges. Hackers are constantly evolving their tactics, and your valuable data, intellectual property, and production processes are at risk. With the explosive growth of smart manufacturing and IOT, a whole new level of productivity – and of risk – has been introduced. Critical devices that can shut down your business run across a complex range:- Smart devices – printers, NAS drives, robotics, drones, etc.
- Dumb devices – sensors, cameras, control devices, etc.
- Legacy computers – whether PC, servers or embedded in a machine that costs millions of dollars, these are often to expensive and critical to replace, and cannot be upgraded.
SMMs are in the Bullseye
Faced with this complex environment, SMMs make a particularly inviting target. In fact, SMMs are 5 times more likely to be targeted by cyberattacks compared to larger enterprises and 43% of SMMs reported experiencing a cyberattack in 2023.
The primary reasons for this is that SMMs lack the understanding of the threat, and cannot afford the staff and tools to protect themselves.
- VPNs are vulnerable and prone to catastrophic breaches – and everyone knows it.
- SDNs and ZTNA are simply too difficult and expensive to deploy and support, and too hard to use without lots of IT support.
- Neither can protect the smart, dumb and legacy devices that populate SMMs workplaces and factory floors.
Faction set out to change this perilous state of affairs.
