As the recognized National Center for #Cybersecurity in #Manufacturing by the United States Department of Defense, we launched our Behind the Firewall: Assessing #Cyber Resilience in U.S. Manufacturing survey to fully understand the cybersecurity landscape within the manufacturing sector. We discovered that 68% of manufacturers have embedded cybersecurity requirements in contracts, yet only 31% rate these as comprehensive. Download the Cyber Report here: https://loom.ly/zOWNNSk ??
