Manufacturing patching is improving, but identity and remote access still undercut the win
Factories are patching faster, but the Black Kite report shows access hygiene can still hand threat actors a side entrance.

- Find and remove internet-accessible remote-access software before threat actors use it as a shortcut.
- Treat manufacturing incidents as operational risk, not just IT cleanup.
