Full-line OT visibility for a top-15 global pharmaceutical manufacturer.

Fragmented OT security across multiple manufacturing sites, manual triage, and compliance reporting measured in weeks. Here is what changed.

Client details are anonymized at their request; deployment specifics reflect the actual engagement.

THE PROBLEM

The organization struggled with fragmented OT security across multiple manufacturing sites. Incidents were being triaged manually, visibility into production-line systems was inconsistent from one site to the next, and compliance reporting required significant manual effort to assemble. Their CISO described the environment as having “high-risk blind spots wrapped in regulatory pressure.”
