Overview
Implementing cybersecurity solution for global manufacturing units with SecureOT
Our client is a Sweden-based manufacturing organization with 20+ globally distributed manufacturing units. They lacked a robust cybersecurity and governance policy for their operational technology (OT) platform. Learn how our 360º SecureOT Framework from HCLTech's Cybersecurity and GRC Services gave the client an end-to-end cybersecurity and governance program that met their requirements.
The Challenge
Lack of a strong cybersecurity policy for the OT platform
- Absence of a robust cybersecurity and governance policy for their OT platform that included over 10,000 OT/ICS assets
- Inability to discover OT assets and inadequate visibility on OT devices, processes and communication
- Insufficient security monitoring and absence of real-time risk insights of OT devices
- Lack of integration between security solutions and SIEM
The Objective
360º cybersecurity and governance program for the plant OT-network
- Provide the customer with an end-to-end cybersecurity and governance program, bespoke to the client’s requirements
- Enabled proactive protection against OT/IT security incidents
- Develop a security transformation roadmap to strengthen the cyber resilience of the plant OT network
- Enable an all-encompassing cybersecurity incidents monitoring system for the client to improve resilience against current and future threats with a secure OT platform for global operations
The Solution
Granular threat protection, real-time security monitoring of OT devices
- Our in-depth ICS program included solutions for governance, risk reporting, service management and triage management
- Deployed threat detection sensors, connected to a centralized management console at all sites to achieve an advanced and granular protection against cybersecurity threats
- Implemented an advanced threat detection tool that empowered the client to secure the entire range of their OT devices including SCADA systems, engineering workstations, maintenance servers, PLCs and HMIs
- Conducted a thorough security monitoring of the OT devices to provide real-time insights into the threats and risks faced by the organization
The Impact
Centralized OT security and asset management across multiple units
- Enabled complete systems visibility across more than 20 manufacturing units
- Simplified the discovery and profiling of over 20,000 devices and assets in the OT environment
- Allowed for the easy discovery of various communication and processes in the OT landscape
- Centralized the security monitoring of OT devices across all sites with real-time risk insights
- Managed 7000+ endpoint assets using Microsoft Defender
