Ransomware was the number one attack vector on critical infrastructure in 2021, according to a report by Dragos, a leading company in industrial cybersecurity. Nearly two-thirds of those attacks (65%), were aimed at the manufacturing sector, the company revealed in its annual review of cyber threats facing industrial organizations released Wednesday.
“You can combine all the other sectors together and not get to where manufacturing is getting hit,” Dragos CEO Robert M. Lee said at an information session held prior to the report’s release.
