Manufacturing Is Under Siege: How AVATAR and Todyl Deliver Rapid, Real-World Cybersecurity Protection

The 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) sends a clear warning: the manufacturing sector is under relentless cyberattack. From ransomware and supply chain breaches to credential theft and misconfigurations, the threats are multiplying—and so are the consequences.

What the 2025 DBIR Reveals About Cyber Threats in Manufacturing

The latest DBIR exposes several alarming realities:

• Ransomware is still king, driving a large share of manufacturing-related breaches.
• Supply chain and third-party attacks are on the rise, compromising even well-defended networks.
• Stolen credentials and phishing remain easy ways for attackers to use.
• Misconfigurations and outdated systems provide wide-open doors for intrusions.

The nature of modern manufacturing—with distributed plants, global suppliers, and a growing attack surface—demands centralized, proactive, and intelligent defense.
