Manufacturers face rising cyber risks as digital transformation, cloud adoption, IoT, and remote access expand attack surfaces. Endpoints like servers, laptops, and cloud workloads are prime entry points, often exploited through overprivileged accounts. Threats include ransomware, insider misuse, supply chain compromises, and state-sponsored attacks, all exacerbated by a global skills shortage. Traditional defenses like EDR and NGAV leave gaps if attackers gain admin rights. A defense-in-depth approach with endpoint privilege security can enforce least privilege, block malicious applications, protect cached credentials, and monitor privileged activity, reducing risks while supporting productivity and regulatory compliance.
