Case Study: Leading Global Manufacturing Company achieves real-time IoT visibility and operational efficiency with Zingbox IoT Guardian

Seeking Threat Visibility and Operational Efficiency, Manufacturer Relies on Zingbox IoT Guardian

Leading Global Manufacturing Company, a large global manufacturer with multiple isolated factory networks and data centers, struggled to maintain visibility into connected devices, define normal behavior, and respond to anomalies without risking production downtime. With only one security officer overseeing a complex environment, the company needed a non-intrusive way to identify assets, understand how they behaved, and improve security and operational oversight.

Zingbox IoT Guardian provided the solution by delivering agent-less, signature-less visibility, machine-learning-based baselining, and real-time anomaly detection across production lines. Zingbox helped the company uncover issues such as personal email use on a manufacturing controls computer and misconfigured network settings, all without disrupting operations or requiring device changes. The POC was completed in a week, and the resulting dashboard gave the security team actionable context to strengthen firewalls, investigate threats, and gain operational insights that could improve productivity.
