Second only to health care, the manufacturing industry is now
one of the most frequently hacked industries (according to IBM's 2016 Cyber Security
Intelligence Index). And more importantly, automotive
manufacturing was the top targeted manufacturing sub-industry,
accounting for almost 30% of the total
attacks against manufacturers in 2015. Security incidents were
up a whopping 66% in 2015, from the year prior. So if you're
not already taking your organization's cybersecurity seriously

and most employees aren't, it's important to protect
yourself
