The client
Global manufacturing leader, 12 sites on three continents.
The challenge
Twelve plants on three continents ran on separate networks, separate tools and separate support contracts. Each site had grown its own way through acquisitions, so there was no single view of assets, identities or risk.
Security alerts raised overnight went unanswered until the local team arrived the next morning, and every site handled outages differently. Office IT and plant-floor operational technology (OT) shared flat networks, which meant one compromised laptop could in principle reach production equipment.
Leadership wanted to add capacity and new sites without adding a new IT stack each time, and wanted a clear answer to a simple question from the board: how exposed are we?
The results
- Security incidents fell by 60% across the 12 sites within the first year of standardized monitoring.
- IT operating costs dropped by 40% through consolidated tooling, contracts and a single service desk.
- The environment held 99.9% uptime across the year that followed, including through two site failovers that production never noticed.
- Plant networks are now segmented from office IT, and recovery for core systems has been rehearsed rather than assumed.
- New sites join the standard build in weeks, so growth no longer means a new IT stack.
