GOALS

• Maintain continuous visibility into all IT and OT assets within the manufacturing environment, including legacy systems and industrial control systems (ICS)
• Implement strong segmentation and access controls to prevent lateral movement of attackers in case of a breach and protect critical manufacturing processes
• Streamline vulnerability management processes and prioritize remediation efforts based on the potential impact on production and safety.

Frustrations

• Facing challenges in integrating security solutions across both IT and OT environments due to their different protocols and architectures
• Dealing with a lack of skilled cybersecurity professionals who understand the unique security challenges of industrial control systems
• Managing the convergence of IT and OT networks, which increases the attack surface and introduces new vulnerabilities.

GOALS

• Assist in implementing a Zero Trust security framework to enhance data protection and regulatory compliance within the financial institution
• Leverage threat intelligence to proactively identify and respond to emerging threats targeting the financial sector, such as ransomware and phishing attacks
• Continuously monitor and analyze network traffic for suspicious activity to detect and mitigate potential breaches in real time.

Frustrations

• Dealing with the complex and ever-changing regulatory landscape in the financial services industry, which requires constant adaptation of security measures
• Facing pressure to balance security needs with business agility and innovation, as the financial sector undergoes rapid digital transformation
• Encountering difficulty in attracting and retaining top cybersecurity talent due to high demand and competition in the industry.
