Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity in manufacturing:
it’s now or never

The good news? Large companies and banks are getting better at securing their IT systems. To do this, they turn to a specialised partner, like Tyneso.
The bad news? Cybercriminals are therefore now focussing their attention on smaller companies, often with less solid security or with outdated systems and equipment. That’s why it’s becoming increasingly important for medium-sized and smaller players to take cybersecurity very seriously.

The importance of a specialised IT partner

At Tyneso, we’re not only experts in operational efficiency, but also in creating secure and stable IT environments. As a NIS2- and ISO-certified partner, we’re excellently positioned to address and maintain your information security. We were among the first in Belgium to obtain this certification, proving our 100% commitment to protect your (business) data.

Manufacturing companies are often medium-sized, with no dedicated security officer, and often using traditional on-site IT systems and installations. This plays directly into the hands of modern cybercriminals. Therefore it’s high time that we raise the alarm and for you to take a close look at your company’s situation.

Never think ‘It won’t happen to me’

Recently, there have been several stories in the media about cyberattacks and stolen data. The number of attacks is on the rise: in 2023, the Dutch Digital Trust Center issued 35,000 warnings, and in the last 6 months alone, that number has already reached 156,000. Yes, you read that right. While general awareness is growing, hackers are always finding more ingenious ways to compromise businesses. Now, more than ever, it’s true: prevention is better than having to pay (for ransomware or recovery costs).

Tyneso has successfully implemented security systems for several clients. Where VPN tunnels and firewalls used to suffice, that’s no longer enough in a world where we’re constantly connected to the cloud. Security now transcends the boundaries of your physical work environment. This brings specific needs, like at Aminolabs, an international sports nutrition manufacturer. Rapid growth and several acquisitions made it clear that they needed a more professional IT environment, but also that their cybersecurity systems needed to scale up. “Working with Tyneso gave us better insight into the risks of our processes and underlying systems. This allowed us to continue growing safely,” according to IT Manager Tine Knaepen.
