Continuous Penetration Testing for Manufacturing Organizations
As manufacturing organizations become more digitally integrated, they become at higher risk of cyber threats. The reliance on connected technologies, or Industry 4.0, makes security practices critical for ensuring operational continuity. Continuous Penetration Testing (CPT) offers a proactive approach to safeguarding your organization, securing the supply chain, and maintaining customer trust.
85%
of critical infrastructure attacks on Manufacturing Organizations could have been mitigated with patching.
55%
increase in recovery costs following ransomware attacks, averaging $1.7 million reported by manufacturing organizations lats year.
Why Continuous Testing
Raising Industry Standards
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Guidelines
Continuous penetration testing fulfills CISA's recommendation for continuous monitoring and testing that can identify risks in OT systems and validate segmentation from IT networks.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
As part of improving an organization's cybersecurity posture, continuous penetration testing aligns with the Identify and Detect functions to uncover vulnerabilities in ICS and OT networks.
ISA / IEC 62443
Continuous testing validates that implemented security measures meet the required security levels globally set for securing Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS).

Customer Expectations
Real-time Security Posture
Partnering with Sprocket Security for continuous penetration testing will give you a comprehensive, real-time understanding of your security posture. Your operations are highly dependent on both IT and OT systems being at full capacity and our proactive approach will help identify vulnerabilities that are attractive to attackers for exploitation. The constant monitoring and regular security assessments ensure you remain one step ahead of evolving threats.
Understanding the manufacturing sector, from the critical infrastructure to the supply chain systems, we know that any downtime can have significant negative affects. Implementing our services significantly reduces the risk of downtime, improves incident response times, and ensures your intellectual property and production processes are secure.
Why Continuous Testing Is Best Practice For Manufacturing Organizations Like Yours
Valuable Data
Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive intellectual property.
Interconnected Systems
Continuously test complex networks to identify security gaps and ensure seamless protection across integrated systems.
Setting Standards
Proactively identifying and remediating risks in real time helps you achieve best security practices.
Emerging Threats
Maintain ongoing defense against new and evolving attack vectors, including zero-day vulnerabilities.
Proactive Security
Preparing for the Future
With the integration of digital technologies into manufacturing processes, or Industry 4.0, came benefits of interconnected systems, efficiency, and flexibility. It also came with big challenges and considerations around data privacy, integration of legacy systems, cost of implementation, and so much more, making cybersecurity a critical consideration for operations. Cyber threats can steal sensitive information or damage physical assets. Implementing continuous penetration testing is essential to identifying vulnerabilities early to mitigate potential risks.
