Business challenge
Understand exposure to attack across newly merged OT networks
As a key provider of critical infrastructure, this organization is keenly aware that cybercriminals are intent on targeting OT systems and that the stakes can be high in terms of potential product damage, lost business, and impact on public safety.
Following their merger with another service provider, the security team had a particular concern. They needed to assess their security posture and understand potential exposure across all the OT firewall and network devices spanning both organizations. This insight would ensure compliance with best practices.
We needed to audit a large and diverse estate of OT firewalls and networking devices and understand our exposure to potential attack.”
