Firewalls by Palo Alto Networks protect IT and OT networks in a manufacturing company
Soitron team
Background
A Slovak manufacturing company with 1,500 employees, part of an international group, was looking for a suitable firewall solution. One of the essential requirements for the chosen solution was to meet a number of next-gen functionalities. The legacy solution was outdated and not compliant with the current requirements. The client requested application-level visibility and a higher level of security.
Project Progress
We proposed a new technological solution based on Palo Alto Networks firewalls. The solution we provided to the client was the current market-leader in terms of firewall security. One of the main requirements of the client was to have separate firewalls for IT and OT networks, i.e. to have a separate network environment for managing industrial production technology elements.
This made it possible to achieve an even higher level of security against potential cyber threats and to make the environment more resilient against outages. The challenge was not to disrupt production processes.
Results and Benefits
high level of security
greater application-level visibility
more resilient environment against potential cyber threats
replacement of traditional firewalls with next generation firewalls
