Securing industrial IoT networks and endpoints across multiple manufacturing facilities.
Manufacturing Sector
A detailed breakdown of how we assessed, secured, and optimized the client's infrastructure.
A large automotive parts manufacturer with multiple production plants and a sizable workforce. The company relies on automated assembly lines, connected SCADA systems, and dynamic supply chain systems.
The client had a fragmented network structure with no isolation between administrative networks and factory floor networks. A local malware incident caused a 12-hour production line shutdown at one of their plants, resulting in millions in lost productivity.
CyberWinks conducted a comprehensive security audit of both IT and Operational Technology (OT) networks. We discovered over 400 legacy, unpatched systems connected directly to the production network, unauthorized remote access setups used by external vendors, and a lack of monitoring for internal OT traffic.
We designed a multi-phase security strategy focused on network segmentation, endpoint protection, and 24/7 security monitoring. The strategy aimed to isolate the OT network from the IT environment, ensuring that any administrative IT breach could not affect manufacturing operations.
Our teams implemented micro-segmentation using next-generation industrial firewalls to isolate the SCADA and control networks. We deployed lightweight Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents across all plant workstations and connected all network events to a centralized SIEM platform managed by our SOC.
The manufacturing networks were fully secured without disrupting production schedules. The company achieved comprehensive visibility into both IT and OT assets, enabling rapid detection of security events. The isolated network segments stopped a subsequent phishing-delivered malware incident from spreading to the production line.
