OT Cyber Security
Sandalwood Systems Integration Group - OT Cybersecurity

Customer Challenge

A discrete automotive manufacturer needed strategies and programs for protecting their plant floor environment from industrial cyber security risks.

  • They had no in-house resources for conducting plant floor process audits.
  • They desired the ability to whitelist programs running on manufacturing equipment and block all other programs.

Solution Approach

Collaborated with client’s fast-paced manufacturing process and IT infrastructure.  A plan was put into place to lock down production equipment.

  • USB/external device policy & procedure put in place on stations and PC equipment.
  • Implemented a software approval process and procedures to enable whitelisting of approved software/license packages on machines.

Results

Quality

Utilize the AIC method (Availability, Integrity, Confidentiality) for risk prioritization. Unlike conventional IT approaches, this framework provides a distinct perspective for assessing and managing risk.

Productivity

Reduced the risk of cyber attacks and production line vulnerability.
