Manufacturing is the #1 Target

Heavy reliance on a complex networks of suppliers, just-in-time processes, and an extremely low tolerance for downtime makes manufacturing a lucrative cyber target.

Supplier Fraud & Payment Diversion

Attackers impersonate vendors and logistics partners to change bank details, reroute freight, or submit fake invoices.

Production Disruption

Payload‑less lures and reply‑chain hijacks bypass legacy technologies, then spread via compromised buyer or engineer accounts.

Fragmented and Distributed Communications

Remote users, shift work, and a multitude of suppliers increases the risk of human error.

Secure The Supply Chain

Effective Supply Chain Security
Begins at the Inbox.

Legacy email security misses supply chain threats. Our Adaptive AI learns from real attacks across suppliers, freight forwarders, and contract manufacturers, catching vendor spoofing, shipment reroute lures, and ransomware precursors timed to quarter-end or line-down events.

  • AI-Driven Remediation: Detect and remediate payload‑less, intent‑based, BEC, and ATO phishing that precede ransomware. 
  • Communication Pattern Recognition: Detect vendor impersonation and VEC using behavioral baselines and relationship graphs.
  • Alerts when needed: Flag first‑time bank changes, unusual payment timing, and new reply‑to domains.

We definitely see more people reporting incidents and, as an IT team, we’re spending less time looking at and deciphering emails, so productivity is increased.

INTEGRATED TRAINING THAT WORKS

Train Where Threats Land.
The Inbox.

Plant teams move fast. Our solution turns your risk into defense with SAT and phishing simulations that mirror supplier bank changes, urgent proposals, and process reviews—then triggers instant micro-lessons, banners, and reporting to harden detection without slowing production.

  • Adaptive simulations: Run simulations tailored to engineering and supplier collaboration lures.
  • Integrated SAT: Role‑based training for buyers, logistics, and plant staff.
  • Real-time coaching: One‑click reporting with in‑product guidance turns employees into real‑time sensors.

"When I first came on board three years ago and saw the number of phishing emails we were receiving, I knew that getting a handle on email security was my priority. You can’t fool a computer, but you can fool a person."

PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST

Engineering & IP
Protection Simplified

Account takeover within the engineering department. Gaps in your onboarding process and policy. Protect against it all with identity and intent-based analysis, anomalous-forwarding detection, and catch the BEC/VEC that others miss.

  • Protect Sensitive Exchanges: Computer Aided Design (CAD), Bill of Material (BOM), and Engineering Change Order (ECO) shielded from attacks.
  • Identify Anomalous Communication: Surface anomalous forwarding to personal mail or new external domains.
  • Malicious Prompts: Flag suspicious OAuth/third-party app consent requests that try to gain persistent token access.
  • Safeguard Onboarding: API deployment makes it easy to extend protection to contractors and new plants.

Trusted to Protect Manufacturers

“A lot of our vendors are much smaller companies, so many of them don’t have a dedicated IT department. Just yesterday a vendor’s account was breached and they were sending us phishing emails. Luckily IRONSCALES caught them."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this solution differ from Microsoft 365 (M365) and Google Workspace (GWS) native security controls?

Native controls focus on pre-delivery filtering and policy rules at the perimeter. An Integrated Cloud Email Security (ICES) platform like ours adds post-delivery, API-level protection inside the tenant. We use behavioral AI (NLP/NLU) to detect subtle threat patterns that rule-based and legacy systems can't catch. 

We already have a secure email gateway (SEG). What would change?

Nothing in your mail flow. IRONSCALES works after the SEG and native filters to catch payload-less and reply-chain attacks, then retro-removes lookalikes tenant-wide.

How do you protect shared mailboxes like ap@, engineering@, and logistics@?

We learn normal senders and topics for functional mailboxes and remove malicious threads for all users who access them.

How do you stop fraudulent supplier bank changes without slowing Accounts Payable (AP)?

We baseline buyer–supplier relationships and flag first-time bank changes, new reply-to domains, and odd payment timing. Clear banners guide AP; confirmed campaigns are clustered and removed across all inboxes.

A vendor account is compromised mid-purchase order (PO) cycle. What happens?

Account Takeover (ATO) indicators trigger auto-quarantine of related threads, and analysts get full context to coordinate supplier notification and recovery.

Our engineers trade designs with suppliers. How is intellectual property protected?

Identity/intent analysis on Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Bill of Materials (BOM), and Engineering Change Order (ECO) threads; alerts on anomalous forwarding to personal or new external domains; simulations for Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) and Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) lures.

Can you help with audits and insurance (CMMC, SOX, ITAR/EAR, ISO 27001, NIST CSF)?

Yes. You get audit-ready logs for detection, user reporting, and remediation, plus SAT/simulation reports and DMARC enforcement evidence.
