Episode #65: Cybersecurity in Mid-Market Manufacturing
The RaaP: Resourcive as a Podcast
<p>In this episode of <em>The RaaP</em>, we’re joined by Adrian Tilston, Resourcive’s Cyber Practice Lead, for a deep dive on why mid-market manufacturers—especially those growing through M&A—face serious cybersecurity gaps. From chaotic IT environments to rising supply chain demands, we explore why cyber complexity is actually a business problem that impacts EBITDA, scalability, and customer contracts.</p>
<p>We also break down how Resourcive helps manufacturing companies navigate this, building practical cyber maturity programs without massive tool spend. Whether you’re a CFO worried about risk exposure or an IT leader buried in MSP tickets, this episode will give you real-world insight into how to make cyber a business enabler, not a cost center.</p>
