Many industrial SMEs still believe they are not a target for cyber threats. Unfortunately, this assumption is no longer true. Cyberattacks increasingly focus on smaller organizations, often because they lack the same level of protection as large enterprises.
Industrial environments are particularly exposed due to:
- Legacy systems
- Increased connectivity between IT and OT
- Limited cybersecurity awareness
- Lack of structured security processes
Cybersecurity is not only about preventing attacks; it is about ensuring operational continuity. A single incident can lead to production downtime, data loss, safety risks, and reputational damage.
The good news is that cybersecurity does not require massive investments to be effective. A structured approach begins with a clear assessment of risks and vulnerabilities. From there, practical measures can be implemented to significantly improve system resilience.
For industrial SMEs, cybersecurity should be:
- Risk-based
- Pragmatic
- Integrated into daily operations
