The ransomware threat against manufacturing companies

The CFCS assesses that the threat from cybercrime, including ransomware attacks against Danish manufacturing companies, is at the level VERY HIGH.

The threat mainly emanates from the capability and intention of criminal actors to conduct targeted ransomware attacks against European manufacturing companies, including companies in Denmark. The CFCS knows of several Danish manufacturing companies falling victim to ransomware attacks in 2023.

The purpose of this threat assessment is to inform manufacturing companies of the very high threat from cyber crime. The assessment is directed towards manufacturing company decision-makers and can form part of the organization’s risk analysis process.
