Case Study: Steel Producer Company achieves unified remote-access control and improved privileged-access security with Fudo Security

Merging Tradition with State of the Art Technology

Steel Producer Company, a large Western European steel manufacturer, faced fragmented and insecure remote access across cranes, PLCs and third‑party vendor tools, losing visibility into who accessed critical systems. After a six‑month selection process and a minimally invasive proof of concept, they chose Fudo Security’s privileged access management solution, Fudo PAM, to consolidate and control external and remote access.

Fudo Security implemented Fudo PAM as a proxy bastion with session recording, OCR search and credential substitution, enabling one‑click admin logins without exposing shared credentials. The rollout was fast (first tests within hours), trained one administrator per site in 30–60 minutes, supported over 100 independent users, and has run reliably for 4+ years. The result: eliminated lax access practices, improved audit performance, prevented unwanted access, and avoided costly full system replacements that could have reached six‑ to seven‑figure sums.
