$125,000 per hour
Unplanned downtime costs manufacturers an average of $125,000 per hour, with some industries reaching up to $2.3 million per hour. (ABB)

The challenges MSPs face in manufacturing

Manufacturing environments are unlike traditional IT. You’re not just managing endpoints — you’re responsible for keeping production running.

Downtime is revenue loss
Minutes of disruption can halt entire production lines.
Legacy systems increase risk
Outdated OS and specialized equipment can’t be easily patched.
IT and OT are converging
Expanding your responsibility — and the attack surface.
Ransomware targets manufacturing
Attackers exploit urgency to force fast payouts.
Backup and recovery are complex
You need both local speed and cloud resilience.
Compliance is nonnegotiable
CMMC, NIST, NIS 2, and industry standards add pressure and complexity.

From IT provider to OT custodian

Most MSPs evolve through three stages:

Foundation (IT provider)
Managing endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads
Transition (industrial bridge)
Supporting engineering workstations and data historians
Goal (OT custodian)
Securing and ensuring uptime for production-critical systems
