Cybersecurity for Manufacturing | MFA, Secure Access Data Protection

Why manufacturing cybersecurity matters

Modern manufacturing relies on connected industrial systems, including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), along side robotics, and industrial networks to keep production safe, efficient, and competitive.

As connectivity across IT and OT environments increases, access to these systems have become a prime target for cyber threats. Without effective manufacturing cybersecurity; attacks can disrupt operations, impact worker safety, and result in costly downtime.

To meet these challenges without compromising production, the manufacturing industry must adopt cybersecurity measures designed specifically for industrial environments.

This requires alignment with recognised cybersecurity standards and regulations, supported by practical, OT-aware controls that balance business-level risk management with real-world operational demands.

Navigating manufacturing compliance frameworks

Compliance is essential to protect production systems, industrial control systems, and intellectual property. While requirements vary by sector and geography, recognised frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIS2, and ISO-based standards security provide clear guidance for securing industrial environments. Effective manufacturing cybersecurity helps organisations meet these obligations while maintaining operational continuity and safety.

SecurEnvoy help you stay compliant through strong authentication, controlled access, and visibility of sensitive data, helping manufacturers demonstrate compliance without disrupting operations.

IEC 62443

Security standards designed specifically for industrial automation and control systems, addressing risk across connected production environments.

NIS2 Directive

EU-wide requirements for securing essential services, with a strong focus on access control, resilience and incident prevention.

Critical Infrastructure Regulations

National security and resilience requirements for organisations operating in high-risk or essential industrial sectors.

Industry safety & quality standards

Including FDA, ISO, and sector-specific cybersecurity obligations.

SecurEnvoy supports manufacturing cybersecurity by helping organisations meet cybersecurity requirements and stay complaint with recognised industrial regulations and standards across IT and OT environments, without disrupting production or legacy systems.

Security solutions for manufacturing organisations

Manufacturing cybersecurity is about keeping operations and production running safely and reliably. SecurEnvoy solutions help manufacturing organisations verify identities, control access, and protect sensitive production data and intellectual property from ransomware, unauthorised access, and operational risk.

We offer a focused portfolio of cybersecurity for manufacturing environments, designed for industrial and OT environments, securing production systems, remote access, and factory operations without disrupting manufacturing processes.

SecurEnvoy Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection to industrial and manufacturing systems by verifying user identity before access is granted. It requires users to confirm who they are; using a second factor, such as a mobile app, token, or one-time passcode. This helps prevent unauthorised access to production systems, remote connections, and industrial environments across IT and OT networks.

Securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS)

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are used across manufacturing environments to operate machines, production lines, and industrial processes, including SCADA systems, PLCs, DCS systems, and other OT systems. Many of these systems were not originally designed with cybersecurity in mind, but are now connected to corporate networks and accessed remotely. This increases the risk of cyber attacks and unauthorised access, making it essential for manufacturers to control and secure who can access these critical systems.

Protect access for factory and production systems

Reduce the risk of unauthorised access by verifying user identity and enforcing clear access rules across IT and OT environments.

Enable secure remote work and supplier access

Provide engineers, maintenance teams and external suppliers with secure access only to the systems they need, ensuring safe remote access to critical manufacturing systems

Meet industrial security and compliance requirements

Apply clear security controls and reporting to support audits and demonstrate compliance with standards such as IEC 62443 and NIS2.

Secure both legacy and modern industrial systems

Maintain consistent across legacy factory equipment and modern cloud based applications, without interrupting production or operations.

Grow security alongside manufacturing operations

Incorporate strong MFA and Data Discovery tools as factories expand, new sites come online, or production networks increase in scale.

Cyber security in manufacturing FAQs

Why is multi-factor authentication critical for manufacturing and industrial operations?

Manufacturing organisations are increasingly targeted by cyber attacks, including ransomware and unauthorised access to industrial systems. MFA for manufacturing and OT environments reduces the risk of credential misuse and insider threats by enforcing strong access controls.

How does access management strengthen manufacturing security?

Access Management for manufacturing prevents movement in case of breach and supports compliance by defining who can access and to which systems.

Which compliance standards affect manufacturing cybersecurity?

Standards such as IEC 62443, NIS2, and national critical infrastructure regulations require organisations to protect their systems and show that strong security controls are in place.

Why is on-premise or air-gapped deployment important for manufacturing?

Many industrial environments have limited or no cloud connectivity for critical systems. On-premise and air-gapped solutions allow secure access where there's no cloud and internet connectivity.

How can manufacturers protect sensitive production and design data?

They can use data discovery and data classification tools to find, understand, and protect sensitive information such as product designs, CAD files, production data, and intellectual property. This helps reduce the risk of data loss, supports compliance, and improves security visibility.

Can SecurEnvoy integrate with industrial, legacy, and mixed IT/OT systems?

Yes. SecurEnvoy supports on-premise, hybrid, and flexible deployment models and integrates with industrial legacy applications, modern platforms, and remote access environments, allowing manufacturers to secure access without disrupting existing operations.
