Securing the Supply Chain: Cyber Threats Facing Manufacturing

In this episode of Tech Talks, David Savage reconnects with Barry O’Connell to explore the growing cybersecurity risks in manufacturing, particularly as geopolitical instability, outdated systems, and operational technology (OT) vulnerabilities collide. As Barry explains, manufacturing is increasingly targeted by cybercriminals and even state-sponsored actors due to gaps in cyber maturity and sprawling attack surfaces.

Barry unpacks why ransomware is spiking in OT environments, how 73% of OT devices remain unmanaged, and what manufacturing leaders—and governments—must do to raise the bar on resilience. With parallels to potholes and supply chain fragility, the message is clear: without proactive action, disruption is inevitable.
