In August 2023, Clorox Corp, the large consumer products company experienced a breach of their production systems. The resulting manufacturing disruption and supply shortages resulted in a 5% revenue drop in the first quarter of 2024 but recovered in the second quarter.
The company attributed the breach to improper cyber protection of production systems which has so far cost Clorox $57 million and continues to impact sales.
For SMB’s, particularly manufacturers, a breach could ravage manufacturing, customer commitments, and top-line growth efforts. Worse, the resulting drain on cash and possible damage to a company’s reputation would be a painful distraction for company leaders.
Consider conducting an assessment which will often reveal gaps in your cybersecurity system that you need to focus on and remediate. You don’t want to suffer the same fate as Clorox.
