Key insight
Most ransomware in manufacturing arrives through corporate IT — a phishing click, a compromised vendor credential, an unpatched VPN. The damage to production happens when it pivots laterally onto the plant floor. A hardened OT/IT boundary outweighs every other single control because it breaks that lateral path.
