Case Study: a major chemical manufacturer achieves stronger OT network security with Audubon

a major chemical manufacturer strengthens OT security with Audubon

The customer, a major chemical manufacturer in Deer Park, Texas, faced significant cybersecurity risks due to an aging and outdated operational technology network. Their challenges included legacy segmentation practices, obsolete equipment, and a lack of modern security architecture. They engaged the vendor, Audubon, for its specialized engineering and network security solutions to modernize their systems and achieve higher levels of performance and security.

Audubon designed and implemented a custom-engineered security solution that transformed the insecure network into a robust system. The solution featured advanced network segmentation, dedicated firewalls for third-party zones, a new L2.5 network layer, and fully redundant connections. This fortified the plant's OT environment with state-of-the-art protection, resulting in enhanced security, improved network traffic visibility, and strengthened firewalls to protect the facility from cyber threats and prevent network propagation.
