Ransomware protection built for manufacturing
Manufacturing became the hardest-hit ransomware sector in recent years, because a single encrypted system can halt an entire production line — and every hour of downtime costs enormous sums. Immune keeps manufacturers running through an attack, detecting in seconds, containing before spread, and self-healing IT and operational systems from immutable backups.
Immune protects the IT/OT boundary manufacturers depend on: network-level detection that reaches the industrial systems agents can't, and fast recovery that gets production back online.
Why ransomware hits manufacturing hardest
Manufacturing has become the most-targeted sector for ransomware, and the reason is simple economics: manufacturers can't tolerate downtime. When production stops, the losses mount by the hour, which makes manufacturers more likely to pay — and therefore more attractive to attack. Recent incidents have halted automotive and industrial production lines for weeks.
The sector's particular challenge is the boundary between IT and operational technology (OT). Industrial control systems often can't run security agents and can't be easily patched, yet a compromise there can stop physical production. Immune protects this boundary with network-level detection and containment that reaches the systems endpoint tools can't, keeping an IT intrusion from becoming a production shutdown.
Our solution
How Immune protects factories and manufacturers
Immune's detect, contain, and self-heal platform, tailored to the realities of manufacturing.
IT/OT boundary protection
Network-level detection and containment across the IT and operational-technology boundary.
Agentless industrial coverage
Protects industrial control systems and machinery that can't run a security agent.
Production-continuity containment
Isolates threats precisely, so a compromise doesn't force a full production halt.
Fast, validated recovery
Restores systems from immutable backups to get production lines back online quickly.
Behavioral detection
Catches ransomware and lateral movement by behavior across the plant network.
Supply-chain visibility
Network-level insight into the vendor and supplier connections attackers exploit.
Use cases
Where Immune protects factories and manufacturers
Production-line attack
Contain a threat before it halts manufacturing and racks up hourly losses.
IT-to-OT spread
Stop an IT intrusion from crossing into operational technology.
Supplier compromise
Detect threats arriving through trusted supply-chain connections.
Rapid recovery
Get production systems back online fast from validated, immutable backups.
Common questions
Ransomware protection for manufacturing, answered
+Can Immune protect OT and industrial control systems?
Yes. Immune protects the IT/OT boundary with network-level detection and containment, reaching the industrial control systems and machinery that can't run a security agent — so an IT intrusion doesn't become a production shutdown.
+How does Immune minimize production downtime?
Immune contains threats precisely rather than forcing a full halt, and its self-healing recovery restores systems from immutable backups quickly, so production lines come back online in a controlled window rather than over days or weeks.
+Does Immune cover supply-chain attack paths?
Yes. Immune provides network-level visibility into the vendor and supplier connections that attackers increasingly exploit to reach manufacturers.
