Case Study: an automation vendor selects the best OT sensor with Optiv's unbiased tool evaluation

Global Automation Vendor selects the best OT sensor for 170 locations with Optiv

a global automation vendor needed to select the best operational technology sensor for 170 global manufacturing locations. Their challenge was that multiple partnerships and investments in OT firms created political complications, preventing an unbiased selection. They engaged Optiv to act as an impartial expert for this tool evaluation.

Optiv narrowed the vendor list from 15 to five and installed each option in their laboratory. Together with the client, Optiv developed a qualitative grading system to conduct an unbiased evaluation. This solution allowed the client to select the best tool for their environment, free of political influence, and maintain their partner relationships. As a result, all 170 locations will be supported through Optiv’s deployment plan.
