Manufacturing is no longer “just” physical.
Your CNC machine talks to a Windows box.
That Windows box talks to email.
Email talks to the internet.
And the internet talks back.
Ransomware targeting manufacturing jumped 61% heading into 2026. That’s not abstract.
That’s a shift supervisor staring at frozen screens at 4:12am while production bleeds cash by the minute.
If you run a mid-market plant, here’s the uncomfortable truth: you probably don’t have a 24/7 security team. You probably have one IT person juggling printers, patches, Wi-Fi complaints, and compliance spreadsheets. And you definitely don’t have time for a cyber incident.
That’s why manufacturers are moving to EspressoLabs.
Not because it’s trendy.
Because it works.
