Cyber Insurance Forged for Manufacturing
From Pittsburgh's steel mills to modern smart factories, we understand manufacturing. Protect your production lines, intellectual property, and supply chain from cyber threats.
Why Manufacturers Are High-Value Targets
Manufacturing companies face unique cyber risks because they combine valuable intellectual property, critical infrastructure, and increasingly connected operational technology systems.
Valuable IP & Trade Secrets
Manufacturing processes, product designs, and proprietary formulas worth millions to competitors.
Production Line Disruption
Ransomware can halt assembly lines, costing thousands per minute in lost production.
OT/ICS Systems
Industrial control systems managing temperature, pressure, and safety - attractive to state actors.
Supply Chain Impact
Attacks can cascade through supplier networks, affecting multiple manufacturers simultaneously.
Safety & Regulatory Risk
Cyber attacks on safety systems can create OSHA violations and physical harm to workers.
Customer & Supplier Data
Breach of customer orders, supplier contracts, and pricing data can damage business relationships.
Built on Pittsburgh's Manufacturing Legacy
From the blast furnaces that built America to today's advanced manufacturing, Pittsburgh has always been the Steel City. Our cyber insurance is forged with the same strength and resilience that powers manufacturing in Western Pennsylvania and beyond.

Real Manufacturing Cyber Attacks
These aren't theoretical threats. Manufacturing companies face sophisticated cyber attacks that target both IT networks and operational technology systems.
Colonial Pipeline - 2021
DarkSide ransomware forced shutdown of the largest fuel pipeline in the US for 6 days, causing widespread gas shortages and $4.4M ransom payment.
Norsk Hydro - 2019
LockerGoga ransomware hit the aluminum producer's global operations, forcing manual operations at 160 sites across 40 countries for weeks.
Honda Manufacturing - 2020
Snake ransomware infected Honda's global network, forcing shutdown of motorcycle, car, and jet production facilities worldwide.
TRITON/TRISIS - 2017
State-sponsored attack targeted safety instrumented systems at a petrochemical plant, attempting to cause physical damage and harm to workers.
Manufacturing Cyber Insurance FAQ
Do manufacturing companies need cyber insurance?
Absolutely. Manufacturing faces unique cyber risks from ransomware targeting production systems, IP theft of designs and processes, and attacks on industrial control systems that can halt operations and create safety hazards.
What makes manufacturing cyber attacks different?
Manufacturing cyber attacks often target operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS), not just IT networks. These attacks can shut down production lines, damage equipment, create safety risks, and steal valuable intellectual property.
How much cyber coverage do manufacturers need?
Coverage varies by company size and complexity. Small manufacturers might need $2-5M, while large operations with critical infrastructure often require $25M+ due to potential business interruption costs and supply chain impacts.
Does cyber insurance cover OT and ICS systems?
Yes, our manufacturing cyber policies specifically cover operational technology incidents including SCADA, DCS, and PLC system attacks, production downtime, and even physical damage caused by malicious cyber commands.
What about intellectual property theft?
Our policies include coverage for trade secret theft, design data breaches, and economic espionage. This includes investigation costs, legal response, and measures to protect remaining IP from further compromise.
How quickly can manufacturing operations be restored after an attack?
Recovery time depends on attack severity and preparation. Our OT-trained response team prioritizes safety and works to restore production quickly. Proper backup and incident response planning can reduce downtime from weeks to days.
