AI-powered and automation-driven cyberattacks are increasingly targeting Indian manufacturing plants, raising concerns about production downtime and supply-chain disruption, according to Seqrite’s India Cyber Threat Report 2026.
Between October 2024 and September 2025, the report recorded 265.52 million detections across more than 8 million endpoints in India, averaging 505 detections per minute. Engineering and Manufacturing accounted for 3.79 million detections (14.22% of total industry volume), placing it among the top three most targeted sectors alongside education and healthcare.
The report indicates higher detection volumes in industrial-heavy states, with Maharashtra recording 36.13 million detections, followed by Gujarat (24.13 million), Karnataka (11.64 million), and Tamil Nadu (7.51 million). Industrial cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Chennai were also cited among the most targeted.
It notes a shift from opportunistic malware to more structured intrusion chains. Trojans (about 88.4 million detections) and file infectors (about 71.1 million) together formed nearly 70% of malware activity, with common entry routes including phishing attachments, compromised utilities, exposed SMB services, and infected tools used in factory environments. Ransomware accounted for under 1% of detections but was linked to high operational impact; in January 2025, it peaked at 185 incidents and over 113,000 detections.
The report also cited network exploitation activity, including more than 9.2 million exploit scans targeting internet-facing applications such as WordPress plugins, Apache Tomcat servers, and enterprise management consoles, and over 8 million LNK-based exploit detections at the host level. It added that 91% of detections originated from on-premise environments, pointing to legacy infrastructure and hybrid IT-OT integration as a key exposure area.
It concludes that as manufacturing organisations expand digital integration across IT, supplier systems, and operational technology, cyber risk increasingly affects operational continuity and supply-chain stability, not just data security.
