Challenge
Provide Global Visibility Without Disrupting Operations
A top 10 global chemicals producer faced mounting pressure to strengthen security while advancing digital transformation initiatives within its 500 locations. The producer required accurate, centralized asset visibility and vulnerability management across its distributed operations.
The other challenge was that the solution needed to be scalable and practical. Many of the sites were unmanned and remote, which made on-site deployment impossible. This means the producer required a cloud-based solution that was OT/ICS-ready so there would be no disruption to critical industrial operations. In addition, leadership sought a single, centralized interface to consolidate reporting, risk analysis, and inventory across all assets.
Solution
Deploy a Rapid, Cloud-Based Solution Across 500+ Sites
The company selected SecureOT Platform for its ability to provide vendor-neutral asset visibility, integrated vulnerability management, and remediation from a single platform. It also offered deep visibility and seamless integration with third-party tools, and ease of use at scale.
Following a successful proof of concept, our agent-agentless architecture eliminated the need for hardware and custom scripts—which enabled faster and lower-cost deployment. The solution also integrated with antivirus, backups, and patching process to provide maturity in critical areas such as configuration hardening and user management.
Result
Improved Visibility, Faster Remediation, and Reduced Costs
The company piloted SecureOT Platform Agent across automation equipment to validate operational safety and confirmed no disruption to production. Confident in the results, the producer deployed the solution across all of their sites in less than 3 months — managed by only two centralized resources.
The producer gained:
- Immediate visibility into vulnerabilities and risks across thousands of devices.
- Accelerated remediation, including automated distribution and deployment of OEM-approved patches.
- Low-cost scaling with rapid deployment and management across global sites from the cloud.
By consolidating asset inventory, patching, and remediation into one platform, the company advanced its cybersecurity in months instead of years—all while reducing manual workload and risk.
