CloudJacket XDR Designed for Factories

Many factories and manufacturing organizations are late adopters of digital technologies. This factor increases the risk of phishing, malware installation, or accidentally exposing sensitive information.  The manufacturing sector is highly connected with two-way communication with vendors, partners, logistics companies, and storage facilities. These third parties are often whitelisted and have substantial access to information but can also serve as an entry point for bad actors.  Due to shifts in demand during the pandemic, Manufacturing which ranked as the eighth most attacked in the 2019 report — jumped to second place in 20201.

In response to this, we have designed CloudJacket XDR that addresses the security needs of factories with out the need of adding additional IT staff making it affordable and effective.

CMMC and Manufacturing

If you are supplying goods to the government, you’ve likely heard about Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The Department of Defense (DoD) developed the CMMC to address significant compromises of sensitive defense information in response to cyberattacks on defense contractors. Most notable was a string of cyberattacks on Navy contractors by Chinese spies, detailed in a 2018 Wall Street Journal expose. The WSJ article prompted an internal Navy cybersecurity audit, which described the military as woefully underprepared for modern cybersecurity threats. One of the issues noted in the Navy audit was that the DoD relied on its contractors to self-report cyber vulnerabilities and incidents. This honor system resulted in very few incidents being reported. The CMMC consists of 171 cybersecurity best practices and five “maturity levels,” ranging from basic cyber hygiene to advanced processes. The more best practices an organization meets, the higher its maturity level, and the more contracts they’ll be eligible to bid on.
