How Can Cyber Attacks Impact Catalysis Research and Industry?
Cyber attacks can have profound impacts on both research and industrial sectors of catalysis:
Research Disruption: Attacks can halt ongoing experiments, leading to significant delays and loss of valuable data. Intellectual Property Theft: Unauthorized access to proprietary methods and catalyst designs can result in competitive disadvantages. Process Interruption: Industrial catalytic processes, such as those in chemical manufacturing, can be disrupted, affecting production and safety. Financial Losses: The cost of recovery from cyber attacks, including ransom payments and system restoration, can be substantial.
