The manufacturing industry is a prime target for cyberattackers, particularly those using ransomware, since manufacturers often pay the ransom when attacked. That’s because even a small amount of downtime for a manufacturer can make an impact, causing production line stoppage and supply chain disruptions. In addition, many manufacturers use legacy systems that can’t be properly patched or updated, leaving them vulnerable to an attack.

To combat these risks, many manufacturers are turning to managed detection and response (MDR) services, a category of security solutions that offers the technology, process, and humans needed to defend against the increasing threat of cyberattacks. Technological research and consulting firm Gartner projects that 50% of all organizations will use MDR services by 2025.

But not all MDR providers are created equal. Manufacturers looking for an MDR provider in the evolving cyber landscape are having to sort through the confusion to find the right MDR provider for their needs. Pondurance keeps it simple.
