Cybersecurity Services for Manufacturers Who Are Tired of Being Easy Targets

Manufacturing Is the Most Targeted Industry for Cyberattacks

Ransomware attacks on manufacturers increased by over 50% in the past two years. Threat actors know that production downtime creates enormous pressure to pay ransoms quickly. They know that many manufacturers still run legacy systems with unpatched vulnerabilities. And they know that intellectual property, from CAD files to proprietary formulations, commands a premium on the dark web.

If your cybersecurity strategy consists of antivirus software and a firewall you installed five years ago, you are not protected. Modern threats require layered defenses, continuous monitoring, and a team that understands the unique security challenges of manufacturing environments.

Neuron delivers enterprise-grade cybersecurity specifically designed for manufacturers nationwide. We protect your IT infrastructure, your OT systems, your intellectual property, and your compliance posture.

Our Cybersecurity Services

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Traditional antivirus catches known threats. EDR catches everything else. Our endpoint detection and response platform uses behavioral analysis and machine learning to identify and neutralize threats that signature-based tools miss entirely.

Every workstation, server, and laptop on your network receives real-time monitoring. When suspicious activity occurs, our system isolates the affected endpoint, blocks the threat, and alerts our security team for investigation. This happens in seconds, not hours.

We deploy and manage EDR across your entire environment, including factory floor workstations, engineering stations, and remote employee devices.

24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) Monitoring

Cyber threats do not observe business hours. Our SOC analysts monitor your network around the clock, correlating events from firewalls, endpoints, email systems, and cloud platforms to identify attacks in progress.

When our SOC detects a threat, they do not just send you an alert and wait for morning. They take immediate action to contain the threat, investigate the scope, and begin remediation. You receive a detailed incident report with clear recommendations for preventing recurrence.

This level of monitoring would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to build in-house. Our managed IT support model makes it accessible to manufacturers of any size.

Email Security and Phishing Protection

Email remains the number one attack vector in manufacturing. Phishing emails impersonating vendors, customers, and executives trick employees into revealing credentials, wiring funds, or downloading malware.

Our email security solution filters malicious messages before they reach your users. Advanced threat protection analyzes attachments and URLs in a sandbox environment, catching zero-day exploits that standard email filters miss. We also deploy DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records to prevent attackers from spoofing your domain.

Combined with our security awareness training, email security dramatically reduces your exposure to social engineering attacks.

Network Segmentation for IT and OT

Manufacturing networks present a unique challenge. Your IT systems (email, ERP, file servers) and your OT systems (PLCs, SCADA, HMIs, CNC controllers) often share the same network. This means a phishing email in the front office can potentially reach equipment on the production floor.

Our network support team designs and implements segmentation architectures that isolate IT from OT traffic. We create security zones with strict access controls, ensuring that a compromise in one area cannot cascade into another. This protects your production equipment from IT-borne threats and satisfies compliance requirements.

Security Awareness Training

Your employees are either your strongest security asset or your greatest vulnerability. We provide ongoing security awareness training tailored to manufacturing environments, covering phishing recognition, social engineering, password hygiene, physical security, and safe handling of sensitive data.

Training includes simulated phishing campaigns that test employee awareness in realistic scenarios. Employees who fall for simulated attacks receive additional targeted training. Over time, click rates on phishing simulations drop dramatically, measurably reducing your human risk factor.

Vulnerability Scanning and Patch Management

Unpatched systems are open invitations for attackers. Our vulnerability scanning identifies security gaps across your servers, workstations, network equipment, and applications. We prioritize vulnerabilities by severity and exploitability, then remediate them through our managed patching process.

For manufacturing environments where patching during production is not feasible, we schedule maintenance windows that align with your operational calendar. Critical patches receive expedited deployment with compensating controls in place until they can be applied.

Incident Response Planning

When a security incident occurs, the first 60 minutes determine the outcome. Without a tested incident response plan, organizations waste critical time figuring out what to do while the attacker moves deeper into the network.

We develop customized incident response plans for your organization, defining roles, communication protocols, containment procedures, and recovery steps. We conduct tabletop exercises with your leadership team to test the plan under realistic scenarios. When an incident happens, your team knows exactly what to do, and our SOC is already responding.

Manufacturing Cybersecurity by the Numbers

Manufacturers face a threat landscape that demands serious investment in security:

• Manufacturing accounts for over 25% of all ransomware attacks across all industries
• The average cost of a data breach in manufacturing exceeds $4.5 million
• 60% of manufacturers that suffer a major cyberattack experience more than five days of production downtime
• Supply chain attacks targeting manufacturers increased significantly year over year

These are not hypothetical risks. They are daily realities for manufacturers without adequate protection.

Compliance Support for Defense and Aerospace Manufacturers

Manufacturers nationwide serving the defense industrial base face strict cybersecurity compliance requirements. Neuron helps you meet and maintain compliance with:

• CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification): We assess your current posture, identify gaps, and implement the controls required for your target CMMC level.
• NIST 800-171: We map your environment against all 110 security requirements, implement technical and administrative controls, and document your System Security Plan.
• ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations): We ensure your IT infrastructure supports ITAR compliance with proper access controls, data handling procedures, and audit logging.

Our IT consulting team guides you through the entire compliance journey, from initial assessment through certification audit.

Why Manufacturers Choose Neuron for Cybersecurity

We are not a general-purpose cybersecurity vendor. We specialize in protecting manufacturing environments where IT and OT converge, where compliance requirements are non-negotiable, and where downtime has immediate financial consequences.

Our security engineers understand ERP systems, SCADA networks, CNC controllers, and the unique challenges of securing a production environment. We have protected manufacturers nationwide since 2001, and we understand that security must enhance operations, not hinder them.

Cybersecurity for Field Service Operations

Cybersecurity is not only a factory floor concern. HVAC companies, plumbing contractors, electrical contractors, and construction companies face their own set of risks. Mobile workforces access dispatch systems, customer records, and job data from tablets and phones across dozens of job sites every day. Each device is a potential entry point.

Field service businesses must protect customer data, including addresses, payment information, and access credentials for secured facilities. Dispatch platforms, fleet tracking systems, and field devices need the same layered defenses that protect a production environment: endpoint detection, mobile device management, secure remote access, and email security that stops phishing before it reaches a technician in the field.

We extend the same proactive cybersecurity services to operational businesses nationwide, adapting our approach to the realities of distributed teams, customer-facing operations, and the specialized software that field service companies depend on daily.
