Manufacturing Critical OT Hardening

Executive Summary

The client is a leading regional manufacturer operating multiple production facilities with highly automated legacy assembly systems. The convergence of their Operational Technology (OT) and enterprise IT networks created severe vulnerability to malware transmission.

The Challenge

Legacy machinery relied on outdated operating systems which could not be patched without triggering manufacturer warranty issues or causing production shutdowns. The primary challenge was securing these vulnerable systems while enabling IT analytics to access OT operational logs securely without exposing the factory floor to external internet attacks.
