How Manufacturing CISOs Manage Risk and Resilience in the AI Era
Can AI help make smart manufacturing even smarter?
Today’s manufacturing CISOs face rising threats, rapid tech shifts, and pressure for stronger IT and OT visibility. And, CISO responsibilities continue to expand — from AI governance to demonstrating clear ROI. AI may just be the key to turning these challenges into a strategic advantage.
In a global survey of 650 CISOs, manufacturing respondents revealed that:
- 86% have fully or partially adopted embedded AI in vendor tools for security functions
- 81% see potential for agentic AI to increase correlation and response speed
- 50% admit they can’t directly correlate ROI to risk mitigation and remediation activities
- 56% do not believe they are investing the appropriate amount in cybersecurity
