Manufacturing production increasingly depends on ERP systems like SAP and Oracle, making cybersecurity risks to these systems a critical threat to production continuity. The transition to cloud-based ERP heightens exposure to internet-dependent failures, requiring new operational fallback and cyber resilience strategies beyond traditional OT security.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Manufacturing founders must treat ERP security as production security because your plant floors stop when ERP fails, not just OT breaches. You need fallback plans that work without ERP and rethink your cyber risk from local networks to the internet.
