MANUFACTURING
(IOT & OT)

ISSUE: IoT Equipment Vulnerabilities, Ransomware.

SOLUTION: Custom Activity Logging, Improved Security Maturity, Root Cause Identification, Recovery, and On-Going Protection.

“After we spent millions in ransom and lost production trying to resolve the issue on our own, UncommonX was able to quickly identify the origin of the incident, contain and remove it. Plus, they gave us visibility into every device, tool, and connection on our network.”

The Challenge:

  • Premier steel manufacturer with IoT and OT on their network.
  • Massive ransomware attack that shut down production capabilities.
  • Spent millions on ransom and lost production.
  • Limited internal security resources - needed a comprehensive solution to secure entire environment and protect from future incidents.

The Solution:

  • Deployed the UncommonX best-in-class MDR/XDR solution.
  • Identified and mapped every OEM device, tool, and connection on the network.
  • Identified the origin of the incident, quickly took steps to contain and remove it.
  • Restored affected areas, verified systems were secure, and helped them resume normal business operations.
  • We continue to deliver reliable, situational awareness 24x7.

The Results:

  • Achieved complete visibility of their entire environment with customized daily logging for all system activities.
  • Significantly improved security maturity – including equipment and other IoT/OT risks.
  • No further incidents since engaging us.
