Most cyberattacks don’t break in—they log in.
In manufacturing, the issue often is not forced entry.
It is trusted access used in the wrong way.
It happens more easily than many teams realize.
• A stale account is still active.
• A shared login hides who used it.
• A vendor credential opens a path no one reviewed.
When access is unclear, response is slower and exposure grows.
The question is not just whether someone can get in. It is whether you would know which identity they used and what it could reach.
That is why access visibility matters.
How much of your environment is protected by trust that has never been revalidated?
