Data Security Solutions for the Manufacturing Industry | Cyera

Question 1

What data security challenges do manufacturing companies face in the cloud era?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturing companies increasingly rely on connected, multi-cloud environments, which can expose valuable intellectual property, personal information, and other sensitive data to both external and insider threats. Disparate systems on the factory floor are vulnerable to misconfigurations, data sprawl, and unauthorized access, making it critical to identify and secure sensitive data without disrupting operations.

Question 2

How does Cyera’s platform help manufacturers protect their intellectual property and sensitive data?

Accepted Answer

Cyera’s platform provides continuous, automated discovery and classification of sensitive data across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments. It identifies trade secrets, personal information, and other valuable data, establishes rich contextual understanding, and highlights exposure risks such as unencrypted or improperly stored data. This enables manufacturers to proactively protect intellectual property and reduce the risk of data breaches.

Question 3

What makes Cyera’s data security solution agentless, and why is this important for manufacturing environments?

Accepted Answer

Cyera’s agentless solution operates without requiring software agents or connectors on endpoints, ensuring there is no impact on factory floor performance or operational efficiency. This streamlined approach allows manufacturers to automatically discover and classify data across all environments while maintaining production uptime and minimizing deployment complexity.

Question 4

How does Cyera support compliance and audit processes for manufacturing organizations?

Accepted Answer

Cyera simplifies compliance by providing a centralized sensitive data inventory and a single source of truth across the enterprise. It streamlines audit reporting by revealing what regulated data exists, where it is located, and who has access to it. Cyera also highlights compliance exposures relevant to frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST, and ITAR, enabling faster and more accurate responses to compliance and privacy audits.

Question 5

In what ways does Cyera help manufacturers control access to sensitive data along the supply chain?

Accepted Answer

Cyera enables manufacturers to identify who has access to sensitive data and assess the efficacy of existing access controls. By highlighting overly permissive access and global sharing permissions, especially around trade secrets and intellectual property, Cyera empowers organizations to enforce appropriate limitations and mitigate insider threats or data misuse along the entire supply chain.

Question 6

How does Cyera help manufacturers build resilience against ransomware and data theft?

Accepted Answer

Cyera identifies stale, copied, or ghost data, including confidential knowledge and intellectual property, that should be removed to minimize attack surfaces. It also detects improperly stored credentials, unencrypted sensitive data, and other vulnerabilities that cybercriminals target, helping organizations proactively address risks and build resilience against ransomware and data theft.

Question 7

What types of sensitive data does Cyera discover and protect in manufacturing environments?

Accepted Answer

Cyera automatically discovers and protects a wide range of sensitive data, including intellectual property (such as trade secrets and productivity metrics), personal information, financial data, credentials, and other proprietary knowledge. It also discerns the data subject role, identifying whether data pertains to customers, suppliers, or other entities in the supply chain.

Question 8

How does Cyera integrate with manufacturing organizations’ existing cloud platforms?

Accepted Answer

Cyera offers seamless marketplace integrations that make it easy for security teams to connect the platform to their existing cloud solution providers. This streamlined procurement and deployment process ensures rapid onboarding and immediate visibility into sensitive data across all cloud environments, supporting the fast-paced needs of modern manufacturing operations.

Question 9

Why is automating data security essential for smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 initiatives?

Accepted Answer

Automation is fundamental to smart manufacturing, and securing the resulting data is just as critical. Cyera automates data security to match the pace of automated production, ensuring continuous discovery, classification, and protection of sensitive data. This proactive approach mitigates risks without hindering innovation or operational efficiency, supporting Industry 4.0 transformation.

Question 10

Can you provide an example of a manufacturing company benefiting from Cyera’s solution?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ACV Auctions leveraged Cyera to rapidly gain comprehensive visibility into their cloud data landscape, which improved their overall security posture and optimized cloud costs. This enabled ACV to confidently control sensitive data exposure and streamline operations, demonstrating the tangible benefits of Cyera’s data security platform in a fast-moving, data-driven manufacturing context.
