## A Defense Manufacturer Watches Its Group and Its Supply Chain.

A major Türkiye-based defense manufacturer runs several subsidiaries and a supplier network across the EU, the US and regional partners. Its tools treated each subsidiary as a separate program. The groups that target the sector treat all of it as one target.

### A Perimeter That Grew Site by Site.

A Türkiye-headquartered manufacturer with multi-billion-USD annual revenue across manufacturing, defense services and contracting, whose subsidiary brands operate semi-independently. Its external surface reaches well past the corporate domain, fed from research, operations, partners and acquisitions.

Research

#### Research Labs

Hosts stood up for individual research projects, added to the perimeter one project at a time.

Operations

#### Regional Facilities

Manufacturing sites that run internet-facing systems of their own.

Partners

#### Partner-Integrated Systems

Systems wired into partner networks, which carry the perimeter past the group’s own infrastructure.

M&A

#### Acquired Entities

Companies that joined the group with infrastructure nobody in the parent had inventoried.

### Fragmented Tools Against a Unified Threat.

#### Subsidiaries on Separate Tools

Each subsidiary brand was monitored with its own tooling, or not monitored at all.

#### Suppliers on Questionnaires

Tier-1 suppliers were reviewed through questionnaires only.

#### Intelligence Without Context

Threat actor intelligence came from public feeds, with no framing for the defense sector.

### One Platform From Parent to Tier-2 Supplier.

1. **Portfolios for the group**

   The parent and each subsidiary brand became a separate portfolio, rolled up into one group dashboard.
2. **Discovery across entities**

   [Asset Discovery](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/easm/smart-asset-discovery/) went looking for subsidiary infrastructure that the central inventory did not list.
3. **Suppliers, scanned like the group**

   [Third-Party Risk Management](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/tprm/) put tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers under continuous monitoring, in place of annual questionnaires.
4. **Sector-scoped intelligence**

   [Threat Actor Intelligence](https://www.deepinfo.com/platform/cti/threat-actor-intelligence/) was configured for nation-state and defense-sector groups.

### What Changed Across the Group.

#### A Supplier Compromise, Seen First

Vendor scanning detected a compromise at a tier-2 supplier before the supplier’s own disclosure. Supplier problems now come to light in the scans, not at the next questionnaire.

#### More of the Surface in View

Discovery brought subsidiary infrastructure into the inventory that the central team had never listed.

#### Campaigns Tracked as They Run

The team follows actor campaigns against the sector while they are active.

#### One Group View

Subsidiaries roll up into a single group dashboard instead of separate per-subsidiary programs.

#### Scored Procurement Gates

Tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers are evaluated against their Deepinfo score.
