Can Cybersecurity Drive Growth? The Strategic Role of Secure Remote Access in Manufacturing

Cybersecurity has long been framed as a blocker, especially in OT environments. But a new survey of 535 manufacturing industry practitioners tells a different story. Could Secure Remote Access (SRA) actually drive uptime, operational agility, and business resiliency? Read the complete report from Takepoint Research and Cyolo to find out.

Get the report, get the data, get ahead!

In manufacturing, as in all critical industries, it's vital that the right people can access the right resources at the right time — without compromising the security or integrity of sensitive operational technology (OT) systems. But could the benefits of strong access controls go beyond security and compliance?

New Research Shows Manufacturers are Turning SRA Into Serious ROI

Global manufacturers are rewriting the script on Secure Remote Access – from a checkbox exercise to a strategic business driver.

This exclusive research report, based on insights from CISOs, OT security leaders, operations managers, and plant engineers across North America and EMEA, explores how leading manufacturers are rethinking remote access to deliver real, measurable business value.

Inside the report, you’ll discover:

  • Which is seen as the top benefit of SRA: Cost savings, increased efficiency, or improved third-party collaboration

  • How remote third-party access to OT systems has became much more common than internal employee access — and why this is potentially problematic

  • What’s causing dissatisfaction with legacy SRA, and how user experience is emerging as a key factor when choosing new security solutions

  • How the promise of faster threat detection and proactive risk identification is fueling a 96% AI adoption rate

  • Actionable recommendations for demonstrating the ROI of SRA to executive and board-level stakeholders

Plus! At the end of the report you'll find two brand new real-world success stories from global manufacturing giants who transformed SRA into their strategic advantage.

So, what are you waiting for? Dive into the research and discover the surprising ROI of getting SRA right.
