95% of automotive manufacturing leaders now rate cybersecurity as a significant concern, with 53% branding it \u2018extremely significant\u2019
\nCybersecurity ranks higher than cost reduction, AI and flexible manufacturing across all regions and supplier tiers
\nThe results mark a clear inflection point, with cybersecurity now viewed as a core manufacturing issue
\nABB\u2019s long-term, security-by-design approach to connected automation reflects the direction the industry is now taking<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity has become the most significant focus for automotive manufacturers worldwide, according to ABB Robotics\u2019 latest Automotive Manufacturing Outlook Survey, highlighting a fundamental shift in how manufacturers view digital risk, operational continuity and the future of vehicle production.
\nThe results reflect the rapid expansion of connected technologies on the factory floor. Advanced robotics, vision systems, analytics, digital twins and AI are delivering major gains in productivity, quality and flexibility. But they also require secure, controlled connectivity to deliver their full value.
\n\u201cCybersecurity is no longer something manufacturers are thinking about for the future \u2013 it is something they must address at the heart of production today,\u201d said Joerg Reger, Managing Director of ABB Robotics Automotive Business Line. \u201cAs factories become more connected, software-driven and data-intensive, cybersecurity has become a core manufacturing discipline. At ABB, we have been building security into our culture and the design of our intelligent, connected automation platforms for decades, so customers can move forward with digital manufacturing confidently.\u201d
\nThe global survey, conducted in partnership with\u00a0Automotive Manufacturing Solutions, shows an unprecedented level of consensus across the industry, with 95 percent of respondents rating cybersecurity as significant, and more than half (53 percent) identifying it as \u2018extremely significant.\u2019 Respondents in every major automotive region, and across OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, all ranked cybersecurity as the industry\u2019s number-one priority over the next five years.
\nThis marks a decisive change from previous years, when cybersecurity sat among a broader set of concerns. Today, manufacturers increasingly recognize that cyber incidents do not simply affect IT systems \u2013 they can halt production, disrupt supply chains and impact finished products, even in environments where equipment is not directly connected to the internet.
\n\u201cRather than rejecting digitalization, manufacturers are demanding stronger assurance that connected production can be deployed safely and resiliently,\u201d said Reger. \u201cWith more than nine in ten survey respondents expecting increased use of AI and big-data management, and a similar number planning greater adoption of digital twins and simulation, secure connectivity is no longer optional. With the EU\u2019s Cyber Resilience Act on the horizon, manufacturers need partners who are already prepared. That\u2019s why platforms like ABB\u2019s OmniCoreTM\u00a0controller family have been designed from the ground up for secure, connected manufacturing \u2013 enabling advanced digital capabilities while giving customers control over how and where connectivity is deployed. Our focus is on helping customers adopt connected technologies in a way that is secure, robust and future-ready,\u201d explained Reger.
\nABB\u2019s approach to cybersecurity has been refined over decades, beginning with an early cultural shift that embedded security into product development, organizational governance and lifecycle management across its entire portfolio. Security requirements are now built into every stage of development and are supported at the highest levels of the business, ensuring that cybersecurity is treated as a fundamental requirement rather than an add-on feature.
\nThis year\u2019s survey gathered insights from 473 automotive industry decision-makers representing vehicle manufacturers and suppliers across the value chain worldwide.
