Why SAP Application Security Matters Now, More Than Ever, for Manufacturers:
When cyber disruption hits manufacturing, the cost is measured in vehicles and weeks.
Manufacturing is now the top target for ransomware, and high-profile cyberattacks mean risk management is essential for executives and boards. In 2025, a major automotive manufacturer disclosed a cyber incident that forced a controlled shutdown of systems and severely disrupted manufacturing and retail operations.
Independent analysis estimated the wider UK economic impact at ~£1.9B (range £1.6B–£2.1B), and reporting described extensive knock-on effects across the supply chain.
Bridge to SAP:
For automotive leaders, the takeaway is clear: when core enterprise applications (including SAP) are intertwined with production planning, logistics, and supplier execution, cyber resilience must extend to the SAP layer. Relying solely on perimeter tools is no longer enough to protect the heartbeat of the factory.
