Cyber challenges in the manufacturing and industry sector
Manufacturing and industry businesses are an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals, yet many are only beginning to understand the scale of the threat they face.
The manufacturing and industry sectors have historically underestimated the scope of cyber threats, leaving many organisations with inadequate protection and significant vulnerabilities.
Cyber attacks are growing in sophistication and manufacturers must keep pace with a threat landscape that puts both data and operational systems at risk.
Employees frequently lack adequate cyber security training, creating opportunities for unintentional insider threats that can have serious consequences for the business.
Working with multiple third parties and suppliers exposes manufacturers to additional risk, making it essential that every external partner meets security standards.

Pharmacy2U
Founder
WorkNest Secure stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them, which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly, and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing.
From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape, and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements.
