Emerging Threats in Manufacturing: High Ambition, Ageing Infrastructure

Go deeper into the findings with the full report: Emerging Threats in Manufacturing: High Ambition, Ageing Infrastructure.
- The Confidence Paradox: 76% of manufacturing IT professionals are highly confident in their current security, the second-highest rate of any industry, yet 53% experienced a remote access incident in the last 24 months, and 62% of that confident group were among them.
- Infrastructure Is the Sacrifice: Platform upgrades are the most deprioritised task in manufacturing at 56%, the highest of any sector. It's the only industry where infrastructure modernisation loses out to security hardening as the thing that gets cut first.
- Zero Trust Ambition Outpaces Delivery: 74% of manufacturing respondents rank Zero Trust as a top priority, the strongest commitment outside MSP/IT Services. Only 29% have actually implemented it.
- Foundational Controls Lag Behind: Encryption at rest sits at just 29% in manufacturing, the lowest of any industry, with session recording at 26% and audit logging at 38%.
- Budget and People Are the Real Blockers: Budget (50%) and a lack of skilled personnel (44%) are the two biggest obstacles manufacturing teams report, ahead of every other constraint.

Built for Segmented, Multi-Site Manufacturing Environments
The RealVNC On-Prem Management Console addresses several of the specific gaps this report identifies, without requiring a full infrastructure overhaul.
- Zones for segmented networks: Keep office IT, plant-floor systems, and third-party vendor equipment apart, with rules you can edit as your network evolves. A practical route toward the Zero Trust architecture 74% of manufacturing respondents already prioritise.
- A full audit trail: Real-time, exportable records of every connection, tied to a named person, including external vendors and contractors.
- One view across every site: A single dashboard for license usage, active and dormant devices, and session counts, so you catch problems before they escalate.
- Centralised licensing: Upload a key once; devices across every site pick it up automatically.
- Clean offboarding: Remove access and cancel a license the moment a contractor or shift worker leaves, without uninstalling anything.
