In this episode of Rapid Rundown: Modern IT and Cybersecurity, I uncover a surprising truth about the real IT problem in manufacturing. It's not just outdated systems or compliance pressures, but rather the complexity without control. As manufacturing operations expand, IT environments become tangled, leading to vulnerabilities like the ones that plagued a mid-sized plant in Ohio with three ransomware attacks in 18 months. The hidden cost of complexity is staggering, with unplanned downtime costing manufacturers an average of $260,000 per hour. I discuss how a managed IT partner can help untangle this mess by providing centralized monitoring, real-time alerts, and scalable support. Tune in to learn how simplifying and securing your IT environment can prevent costly disruptions and keep your focus on production. Don't miss future episodes where I continue to tackle the IT challenges that matter most to growing businesses.
