According to a recent report from Armis, nearly half (49 percent) of global respondents say the threat of cyberwarfare is imminent, and they have had to report an act of cyberwarfare to authorities. Looking specifically at manufacturing:
79 percent of IT decision-makers working with the manufacturing and engineering industries say the cyber capabilities of nation-state actors have the potential to instigate full-scale cyberwar that could cripple critical infrastructure worldwide.
65 percent of manufacturing and engineering organizations have experienced 1-2 breaches, a rise from 60 percent in Armis’ 2025 report.
- 42 percent of respondents said they regularly see phishing and spear-phishing attacks bypassing security tools – a jump from 30 percent in last year’s report.
