Case Study: Global Industrial Equipment Manufacturer strengthens OT security and business continuity with Armis

Global Industrial Equipment Manufacturer Secures OT Environment and Protects Operational Continuity

Global Industrial Equipment Manufacturer, a global producer of heavy equipment with over 10,000 employees and thousands of IT and OT devices, needed better visibility into its OT environment to protect shop-floor productivity. The company worried about ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, and lateral movement across the network, but lacked a clear picture of what devices were actually connected. Armis was brought in to help address this challenge.

Armis deployed its agentless, passive monitoring platform to identify OT assets, trace unusual traffic, and provide detailed device intelligence. The manufacturer used Armis to segment and redesign the OT network, reduce the attack surface, and create “gold images” for securing new devices more efficiently. As a result, the team gained greater awareness and confidence, improved security maturity, and stronger assurance of business continuity, while also reducing uncertainty about what was on the network.
