The number of cyberattacks launched on manufacturing facilities worldwide is growing quite significantly. Frost & Sullivan notes that the downside of a rising Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) factory environment is the increasing capability of cybercriminals to attack industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
