Manufacturing Absorbed More Ransomware Claims in March Than the Next Three Verticals Combined

Manufacturing accounted for 208 ransomware claims in March 2026, exceeding the combined total of the next three most-affected sectors. Halcyon's ROC STAR Report analyzed the sector-specific trends in ransomware activity.

Why it matters: Manufacturing leaders and their security teams should prioritize ransomware defenses given the sector's disproportionate targeting, which represents both elevated risk and a concentrated threat landscape requiring immediate response capabilities.
