Many manufacturers meet compliance requirements. Nevertheless, their production environments remain vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Manufacturers increasingly need to demonstrate their cybersecurity maturity. Regulations such as NIS2 and IEC 62443, as well as stricter supply chain audits, demand operational resilience as well as regulatory compliance. Many companies are therefore making significant investments in their security measures. However, the actual risk often does not decrease to the same extent—even when all compliance requirements are met. In practice, resilience depends less on preventing every incident and more on detecting and containing it quickly.
