Business Continuity & Data Protection for Manufacturing Organizations
Are Data Vulnerabilities Putting Your Manufacturing Uptime at Risk?
When production stops, so does revenue. Manufacturers face unique IT and cybersecurity challenges that can bring operations to a standstill:
Downtime that halts production and disrupts supply chains
Legacy systems struggling to integrate with modern ERP and IoT tools
Ransomware or cyberattacks targeting proprietary designs and operational data
Lack of visibility across multiple facilities and production lines
High infrastructure costs and limited in-house IT bandwidth
Manufacturing downtime doesn’t just slow production—it ripples across suppliers, logistics, and customer commitments.
Every minute of downtime can cost thousands in lost output and client confidence
IP theft and trade-secret leaks threaten innovation and market position
IoT and OT convergence create new vulnerabilities in connected systems
Compliance requirements (like CMMC, NIST, ISO 27001) demand strict control over data access and retention
Disaster recovery readiness determines how quickly production can resume after an incident

Manufacturing Data Protection FAQ
Manufacturing data protection is the practice of safeguarding critical production systems and business data from downtime, cyberattacks, and data loss. This includes secure backup, fast recovery, and disaster recovery for systems manufacturers rely on every day to keep operations running.
In manufacturing, downtime isn’t just an IT issue — it directly impacts production, revenue, and supply chains. A single outage can stop manufacturing lines, delay shipments, and disrupt customers. Strong data protection ensures manufacturers can recover quickly and avoid costly interruptions.
Ransomware attacks often target manufacturers because downtime pressure is high. These attacks can encrypt production systems, shut down plants, and spread quickly across networks. Reliable backups and fast recovery allow manufacturers to restore systems without paying ransom or prolonging downtime.
Manufacturers should protect all systems that support production and operations, including:
ERP and financial systems
MES and production control platforms
Engineering and design files
Inventory, logistics, and supply chain data
Critical operational and business applications
Losing access to any of these can slow or halt manufacturing operations.
Backups store copies of data, while disaster recovery focuses on how quickly systems can be restored and production can resume. Manufacturers typically need both — especially recovery solutions designed to minimize downtime for critical systems.
Recovery speed depends on the system, but many manufacturers require recovery in minutes or hours — not days. Production, ERP, and supply chain systems often have strict recovery time objectives to prevent operational and financial impact.
