Description

Cybersecurity in Consumer Goods - Thematic Research

Summary

This report analyzes the role of cybersecurity in the consumer goods sector. It offers an in-depth study of the cybersecurity value chain, before discussing the threat landscape facing consumer goods companies and the technologies they should invest in to prevent and mitigate the damage of cyberattacks. The report also assesses the state of the cybersecurity market by analyzing the jobs, filings, social media activity, M&A deals, and partnerships pertaining to both cybersecurity and the consumer sector.

Cybersecurity is more important than ever for the consumer goods sector as cyberattacks become more frequent. The pandemic caused consumer goods companies to accelerate the digitalization of their business operations, support remote working, and cater for growing ecommerce purchases. All of these changes made consumer goods companies more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Although consumer goods companies are investing more in cybersecurity, cybersecurity’s importance is typically underestimated in these companies’ materiality assessments. Moreover, none of the ten largest consumer goods companies have appointed a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to the board. Operational technology (OT) such as assembly line robots represents a particularly severe vulnerability for most consumer goods companies.

Scope
  • The ways in which consumer goods companies adapted to the pandemic have also made them more vulnerable to cyberattacks. As cyberattacks have become more frequent and more damaging over the last two years, consumer goods companies’ investments in cybersecurity have grown.
  • In 2021, the vulnerability of modern operational technology (OT) in particular was made clear by high-profile attacks on SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline.
  • Securing OT environments will be a particularly important investment for consumer goods companies to make in the near future.
Reasons to Buy
  • Understand the cybersecurity value chain.
  • Identify the key specialist vendors and industry adopters of cybersecurity in the consumer goods sector.
  • Discover the threats facing the consumer goods sector, and how cybersecurity can alleviate them.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
