As an organization, you are actually becoming increasingly vulnerable.

Customer Story

Innovation and quality play an important role not only in product development, but also in the areas of IT and cybersecurity. Richard Elsinga talks about the need to continue to innovate in the support departments so that the primary business processes are not at risk. Especially now that more and more processes are being automated and more and more equipment is using the network thanks to IoT, it is all the more important to maintain control and identify and act on dangers at an early stage. Tesorion Immunity, a solution that identifies potential dangers within the network and takes automated action on them, is therefore essential.

Royal Smilde delivers orders at the desired time. That means a lot of data exchange to ensure that production and deliveries run smoothly.

An integrated approach was the deciding factor

Royal Smilde has opted for an integrated approach. In addition, there is a central IT organization, using one platform, one domain and one approach for security. In addition, local support is provided per location. When it turned out that there were gaps in the existing security measures when it came to cybersecurity, we looked at a future-proof solution together with Tesorion.

With production of this size, a minor disruption in the production or logistical process means a potential disaster.

Maintain a grip

“Of course, we've implemented firewalls and virus scanners,” Richard continues. “However, that is mainly for traffic that comes in from outside to inside. What we didn't have at the time was a solution to threats that were already in. You can actually see that as a kind of third layer.”

“First you have a firewall, then you have the virus scanner. Tesorion Immunity ensures that if something gets through, or if someone accidentally puts malware on the network via an external data carrier, for example, we are still protected. Especially with the entire IoT development, the amount of devices and the associated network traffic is increasing sharply. These devices need access, or communicate outward. This involves the risk that you, as an IT organization, will lose control. After all, what you want to prevent at all costs is that an unauthorized device can access your network.”

Failure to deliver for a day can cost us capital.

Complete solution without major adjustments

With Tesorion Immunity, Royal Smilde has opted for a total solution. This did not only look at technology, innovation and future-proofing. Ease of management and user-friendliness also played a role. A choice that fits the mission and vision of this Royal company in all areas. Tesorion Immunity offers Royal Smilde all desired functionalities without having to convert things. “We were able to simply connect Tesorion Immunity to our existing network. Because a number of characteristics are cleverly used, the system is self-learning, so it knows which equipment is running after the 'in learning' period. Then it's time to switch and turn the button. Actually, you can say that everything with an IP address is first logged into us so that we can add and monitor that device or machine in Tesorion Immunity.”
