Case Study: Chemours achieves accelerated cybersecurity maturity and 24x7 threat mitigation with Open Systems MDR+

Chemours And Open Systems Have The Right Formula For Cybersecurity Collaboration

Chemours, a global chemical manufacturer with about 6,400 employees across roughly 60 locations, needed to centralize plant analytics and dramatically level up cybersecurity to support corporate digital‑manufacturing goals and compliance. To replace a fragmented toolset and siloed operations, Chemours standardized on Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft 365 E5 and selected Open Systems—deploying their MDR+ service and Mission Control SOC—to modernize detection, response, and secure configuration.

Open Systems delivered a 24x7 follow‑the‑sun Mission Control SOC integrated with Microsoft tools and Azure Lighthouse, consolidating logs and reducing tool sprawl (eliminating management of some 30–40 products). The MDR+ engagement improved visibility across the attack surface, sped threat mitigation, maintained full data retention, and enabled secure cloud analytics; Open Systems’ engineers now provide capabilities equivalent to about 10–12 full‑time staff, accelerating Chemours’ security maturity and operational resilience.
