ybersecurity isn't just an
issue for tech companies or
financial institutions—it's
becoming a significant
concern for industries across
the board, including wooden
pallet manufacturers. Recent data from
IBM reveals that manufacturing is now
the most-attacked sector, accounting for
23% of all cybersecurity breaches. To
put that in perspective, manufacturing
faces more attacks than the financial
sector, making it clear that no industry is
immune to these ever-evolving threats.
For wooden pallet manufacturers, the
stakes couldn't be higher. A single
data breach can cost a staggering $5.56
million on average in the industrial
sector—an expense few businesses
can absorb. While investing in
preventive measures may seem costly,
the alternative could mean production
downtime, damaged reputations, or
even the closure of your business.
