MxD Research Reveals Major Disconnect Between Perceived and Actual Cybersecurity Capabilities in US Manufacturing

MxD's press release summarizes survey results showing U.S. manufacturers are overconfident in their cyber readiness: 76% say they can prevent/respond to cyber risks, yet only 34% have comprehensive system security plans and 43% have dedicated cybersecurity leaders (88% of large firms vs 35% of small/medium). The report calls for stronger cybersecurity across the manufacturing supply chain, notes 82% plan to raise cybersecurity spending, and positions MxD to provide playbooks, training, and tools to improve sector resilience.
