Having worked in manufacturing IT, I can tell you that the security of shop floor systems is an afterthought. A lot of the systems are German based, and they are set in their ways when it comes to IT, they find something that works and they use that for a long time. This is good for reliability, but bad for security, because there is a lack of patching/updating/security infrastructure.
