A global cable manufacturing giant extends security visibility and control with SharkStriker.

Fragmented data, low visibility, and control

As a leading cable manufacturer serving defense, marine, aerospace, and other critical infrastructure, our client depended on a security stack that was built with some of the top-tier security solutions. These solutions included IBM QRadar for SIEM, Nessus for vulnerability management, and a Fortinet firewall. Each tool served a purpose, but they created more work than clarity.

Our client struggled with low visibility, scattered data, and limited control. The manufacturing sector has held the top spot for the most targeted industries for five consecutive years, with threats like ransomware, phishing, and supply chain compromise dominating the threat landscape.

As a contractor for defense, aerospace, marine, and energy industries, our client also faced multi-layered compliance obligations (CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, and DFARS 252.204=7012). IT requires our client to establish a security posture that can evolve with threats while staying compliant in a volatile compliance landscape through centralized visibility and control.

The problem wasn’t a lack of security or compliance tools but the capability to operationalize them.

• Limited visibility despite a top-tier stack
• Scattered data without centralized control

• High telemetry volume but no oversight
• Growing exposure to security and non-compliance risks 

Extended visibility,
centralized control and improved compliance

Our client was looking for security vendors who could provide the continuous expertise and support they needed to address their security and compliance goals. 

After an extensive evaluation, they found SharkStriker offered a single-stop access to continuous cybersecurity and compliance support to help them establish a resilient and compliant security posture. It gave them the confidence to address multi-layered global and regional compliance needs without having to search or manage different vendors.

“We were always driven by the mission to help organizations reach their potential through our services. We needed to ensure the security of their most valuable data assets while they progress. However, with a limited team, it was a challenge to identify hidden risks and ensure round-the-clock security. SharkStriker helped us do that through dedicated round-the-clock expertise, helping us maintain a secure and compliant state.” – CEO
