Case Study: BorgWarner achieves real-time OT asset visibility and segmented network security with Palo Alto Networks Industrial OT Security

BorgWarner protects global OT assets with a unified approach to network security

BorgWarner, a global automotive and e‑mobility supplier with production sites in 24 countries, needed better visibility and control of operational technology as more devices connected to its enterprise network. The company sought a real‑time inventory of OT assets, a way to assess device risk, and network segmentation to contain threats across manufacturing floors and labs—challenges that limited security and operational efficiency.

Using Palo Alto Networks Industrial OT Security, BorgWarner implemented network segmentation and asset‑visibility controls at five key sites without disrupting production. The solution reduced IoT risk‑identification time from hours to minutes, secured thousands of OT assets per plant, improved safety and network performance, and positioned the company to lower cyber‑insurance costs while rolling the approach out to its remaining facilities.
