Security Risks in Internet-exposed SCADA in Manufacturing

As manufacturing enterprises adopt digital transformation, integrating SCADA with cloud-based solutions introduces serious cybersecurity risks. This case study highlights how a Fortune 500 manufacturer inadvertently exposed SCADA systems to the internet, making them vulnerable to attacks. Traditional security tools failed to detect these exposures due to blind spots in asset inventory and reliance on predefined IP ranges. By leveraging external exposure management, the company identified and remediated these risks before exploitation. This incident underscores the need for continuous attack surface monitoring, risk-based prioritization, and automated asset discovery to secure operational technology (OT) environments against emerging threats.
