The Challenge

Gaps in OT visibility and asset security management

  • The organization lacked comprehensive insight into its Operational Technology (OT) environment, leading to unmonitored assets and potential security risks
  • The existing Configuration Management Database (CMDB) was missing critical information, particularly for OT and IoT assets, resulting in gaps in asset tracking and management
  • There was no established system for monitoring vulnerabilities or managing security incidents within the OT environment, increasing the risk of undetected threats
The Challenge

The Objective

Strengthen OT infrastructure with asset visibility and security monitoring

  • To provide comprehensive insight into the OT environment by identifying and cataloging all OT and IoT devices
  • To fully populate and update the CMDB with accurate and detailed records of OT assets, ensuring proper asset management
  • To establish continuous monitoring and management of security incidents within the OT environment, improving overall security posture
Objective

The Solution

Comprehensive Armis deployment integrated with SNOW, enhancing OT asset visibility

  • Deployed Armis discovery appliances at 108 global sites and integrated with SNOW CMDB using API, providing comprehensive visibility into OT and IoT assets
  • Conducted a POC with Armis sensors at four initial sites to validate the solution's effectiveness in detecting and managing OT asset vulnerabilities
  • Managed continuous asset discovery and visibility operations through Armis and provided consultancy on establishing an OT Security Operations Center (SOC) for enhanced security posture
The Solution

The Impact

Global deployment improved asset visibility, enhanced security and enabled scalable anomaly detection

  • Armis discovery appliances provided complete visibility into OT and IoT assets across 108 global sites, addressing previously unknown inventory gaps
  • Integration of Armis with SNOW CMDB enabled real-time monitoring and improved security by identifying and cataloging assets and their vulnerabilities
  • The Armis SaaS platform's scalable solution facilitated the detection of unauthorized access and anomalies, allowing for proactive security measures
  • Enhanced management of security incidents through continuous visibility and monitoring, leading to a more robust response strategy
