This study aims to reveal the sector's human-centric cybersecurity risks due to the manufacturing industry's complex processes and continuity-based structure. In this study, eight risks were identified and evaluated using the fuzzy CRITIC method. This study identified the top three human-centric cybersecurity risks in the manufacturing industry as follows: 'employee resistance to cybersecurity practices and data privacy', 'lack of employee training and education on cybersecurity' and 'lack of human-machine integration'. This comprehensive analysis of human-centric cybersecurity risks in the manufacturing industry highlights the need for cybersecurity strategies to include human-centric measures. The results suggest that managers, security professionals, and practitioners develop an effective combat strategy against human-centric cybersecurity risks in the manufacturing industry.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessManufacturingRisk ManagementCybersecurityDigital TransformationArticle10.1504/IJMR.2024.10068139
