Alert overload gone, cyberthreats knocked down.
A prime target, and too many alerts.
For over 100 years, Mikron has led in developing and producing automation and machining solutions and cutting tools worldwide - a recent estimate put 150,000,000 parts assembled on Mikron systems every day. Rich in intellectual property and heavily reliant on production systems, manufacturers like Mikron are a favorite cyberthreat target. Mikron had already invested in Microsoft Azure Sentinel, Office 365 E5 and the Open Systems SASE Experience, but some gaps remained - and a rising tide of alerts was overwhelming the IT team.
Protect valuable IP
Intellectual property and production systems make manufacturers a favorite target for attackers.
Close the remaining gaps
Most of the infrastructure was more secure, but a few areas still needed bolstering.
Tame the alert overload
An ever-increasing number of alerts was overwhelming a lean IT team that needed help to keep up.
Only the alerts that actually matter.
After consulting with Open Systems, Mikron selected the SASE Experience service to strengthen the remaining gaps. Just as important as the technology were the people: Mission Control Operations Center engineers filtered out false positives, reduced and prioritized alerts, and added context to possible threats.
Receiving only data-enriched alerts that matter, Mikron could easily knock down its threats and stay secure - security run for them, so a lean team stays focused on the business.
Solutions in play
A century of precision, now securely run.
Open Systems layers onto Mikron's Microsoft investment and turns alert noise into a handful of enriched alerts that matter.
Other customers, same pattern.
Different industries, one move: fewer people running more security, with the numbers to show for it.
Hybrid network simplified, costs cut by half.
MPLS replaced, one view across 62 countries.
90 sites in six months, run by two people.
The thinking behind the move.
Why converging compliance, modern secure access and Zero Trust is what keeps a manufacturer like Mikron both protected and productive.
