Kaspersky announces manufacturing cyber resilience report
Published2026.08.31 16:16According to the survey, only 9% of manufacturers evaluated themselves as having achieved complete digitalization, while 60% expected to achieve complete digitalization within the next 2 years.
The report analyzed that manufacturing equipment and production lines are rapidly transitioning to cyber-physical systems (CPS) as they are connected with manufacturing execution systems (MES), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), historians, and others.
The report indicated that manufacturers are pursuing digitalization with measurable operational outcomes as their goal rather than technology adoption itself.
Approximately 60% of responding companies estimated that damages exceeding 1 million dollars per cyber incident could occur, and the average operational downtime caused by incidents was calculated at 15.3 hours.
It was found that losses from production shutdowns, delivery delays, and fines are often larger than forensic costs.
59% of surveyed organizations had IT departments responsible for security policies, but there were cases where these policies did not sufficiently reflect actual production site conditions.
Multiple security tool management (44%) and OT patch management (38%) were also cited as major challenges.
KICS is a native extended detection and response (XDR) platform that provides capabilities to centrally detect and respond to complex attacks across industrial networks and secure visibility, Kaspersky stated.

Kaspersky Detects 'SilverFox' APT Disguised as Tax Notices
Kaspersky has detected an APT attack called "SilverFox" that distributes malicious files by impersonating tax authority tax violation notices. According to GReAT analysis, over 1,600 malicious emails targeting industrial, consulting, trade, and transportation companies in India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Russia were identified in January and February alone. The attackers deployed ValleyRAT, a Python-based backdoor ABCDoor, and a new RustSL variant to attempt remote control and sensitive data exfiltration. Kaspersky noted that South Korea is also vulnerable to impersonation phishing due to its high dependence on e-government and tax systems, and recommended enhancing employee security awareness training and EDR capabilities.
