Barracuda protects manufacturers and industrial companies from attack, system disruption, and accidental data loss.
Industrial Internet of Things
Nation-state actors target industrial devices and applications to disrupt supply chains and critical infrastructure.
Application Security
Web-based applications, human-machine interfaces, and APIs are prime targets for exploits, account takeover, and DDoS attacks.
Secure Networks
Supply chain vulnerabilities and system intrusions can disable networks and stop production.
Ransomware
Organized cybercriminals disable systems, steal data, and demand payment to stop the attack.
Email Protection
Phishing, malware-laden attachments, and other email attacks can lead to data loss, invoice fraud, and company downtime.
Data Protection
Secure business records, production data, and other important information from loss and ensure your ability to recover without paying a ransom.
System intrusion and other advanced threats against manufacturers continue to increase.
Share of cyberattacks in the manufacturing industry worldwide from 2018 to 2022*
Honda Motor Company’s global operations were disrupted when one location was infected with ransomware. The malware spread quickly through the network and infected facilities in at least five countries.
Austrian airplane component manufacturer Fischer Advanced Composite Components AG (FACC) fell victim to a sophisticated phishing attack that resulted in a loss of over $50 million.
Multinational food company Mondelez suffered a destructive malware attack that affected thousands of systems. The downtime led to a 5% drop in sales for the quarter and over $100 million in losses.
DEFEND YOUR CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS
Secure your connected devices in any environment.
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices are critical to modern industrial processes, but they are often overlooked or impossible to include in patch management and other cybersecurity measures. This leaves them open to threats like botnet malware that hijacks devices for use in distributing spam, stealing sensitive information, and launching DDoS attacks. Barracuda research finds that 98% of manufacturers faced a cyberattack in 2022.
Our solutions help you:
- Secure your industrial devices, even in harsh and remote environments
- Optimize device connectivity and boost performance
- Create a true zero-touch deployment process for smart devices
- Segment ICS and IIoT networks to limit the spread of threats like ransomware
PROTECT YOUR ENTIRE NETWORK
Secure hybrid and IT/OT converged networks.
Industrial companies bring operational technology (OT) and other digital systems into one converged infrastructure. Employees access cloud workloads, local systems, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications several times a day. They might access mission-critical applications from remote workstations and mobile devices that need the same security and reliable connectivity as the primary business workstations. Companies need a full view of both the network and its security posture to secure these workflows.
Our solutions help you:
- Protect applications, devices, and data from internal and external threats
- Build a secure infrastructure that is easy to reconfigure and scale
- Centrally manage your entire security posture
- Integrate industrial control systems into your edge security
STOP EMAIL-BORNE THREATS
Even cyber-physical systems (CPS) can be taken offline with an email attack.
Email attacks account for over 90% of both malware delivery and data breaches. Phishing attacks have grown by more than 150% per year since 2019, and business email compromise (BEC) fraud caused over $2.7 billion in adjusted losses in 2022. Global aluminum producer Norsk Hydro lost over $70 million when the LockerGoga ransomware gang captured employee credentials through a phishing attack.
Our solutions help you:
- Protect user credentials and other sensitive data with integrated anti-phishing strategies
- Stop malicious attachments before they reach your email system
- Detect and remediate threats with fast automated response
- Train users to recognize and report phishing and other email attacks
DON’T FALL VICTIM TO RANSOMWARE
Protect your business assets and production capabilities from ransomware attacks.
One successful attack on an Industry 4.0 company can inflict widespread damage. Interconnected devices, end-to-end supply chains, and the sector-wide intolerance for downtime make these companies attractive targets for ransomware gangs. The 2020 attack on cold storage and logistics company Americold raised concerns about the long-term storage of COVID-19 vaccines. The 2021 attack on Colonial Pipeline triggered a fuel shortage and elevated ransomware to a national security-level threat.
Our solutions help you:
- Protect user credentials from spear phishing and other email attacks
- Secure your networks and CPS devices from internal and external threats
- Defend your web applications from attacks and intrusion
- Protect your data with comprehensive, ransomware-resilient data backup
SECURE YOUR APPLICATIONS
Block system intrusions and other attacks.
Web applications can make it easier to do business with your company, but they can also expose your network to zero-day attacks and other advanced threats. Insecure APIs and other vulnerable third-party integrations can be used to capture account credentials and other sensitive information, and potentially allow entry into the company network. Threat actors can also slow or disable your services with automated login attempts and DDoS attacks.
Our solutions help you:
- Protect your web applications and APIs
- Stop brute-force and other bot attacks
- Prevent DDoS attacks from interrupting operations and services
- Securely deploy interconnected and interactive applications
PREVENT DATA LOSS
Protect data and minimize downtime.
Manufacturers and industrial companies handle several different types of data that are relevant to different parts of the business. Nation-state gangs and other criminals may try to steal or destroy this data, leaving you without the ability to conduct business or recover from a ransomware attack. Industry 4.0 is a data-driven environment, and it requires the protection of a robust and hardened backup system.
Our solutions help you:
- Avoid paying ransoms with a comprehensive backup that can restore all your data
- Protect data across a wide range of on-premises systems and applications
- Reduce IT costs with intuitive and easy-to-use data protection
- Restore data quickly and easily from any location to any location
SECURE EVERY DEVICE WITH MANAGED XDR
Get comprehensive and proactive security.
Industrial cybercrime has been a problem for decades, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. IT and OT networks are converging, and workloads are dispersed across the public cloud, SaaS applications, and on-premises resources. Legacy devices and proprietary software work alongside web applications and mission-critical resources. Employees access the network from their personal mobile devices, and consumer-grade appliances like coffee makers and thermostats have access to the network.
These environments can be difficult to secure and monitor. Barracuda Managed XDR protects your company with a team of security experts armed with the latest technology.
Our solutions help you:
- Identify suspicious behavior and stop threats in real time
- Augment your IT staff with a 24x7x365 security team
- Enforce data governance policies across the network
- View your entire security stack in one centralized dashboard
