A manufacturing group monitoring exposure across facilities and supply chain.

An international manufacturing group operates facilities across 20+ regions with tier-1 and tier-2 supplier networks spanning continents. Continuous external monitoring covers facility-by-facility infrastructure; TPRM extends the same depth across the supplier tiers. M&A-inherited infrastructure surfaces as Smart Asset Discovery brings it into the inventory.

THE CUSTOMER

International manufacturing group with 20+ regional facilities.

An international manufacturing group with multi-billion-USD annual revenue, operating 20+ manufacturing facilities across multiple regions. Tier-1 supplier network spanning continents; tier-2+ supplier network in the hundreds. Multiple subsidiary brands and acquired entities with varying historical IT discipline.

External attack surface includes facility-level infrastructure, ERP and supply-chain integration platforms, customer-facing portals for B2B clients, partner-integration infrastructure for suppliers and distributors. M&A activity over recent decades left subsidiary IT footprints with varying security maturity.

THE CHALLENGE

Facility-by-facility coverage plus tier-1+2 supplier monitoring.

Facility-by-facility coverage uneven + tier-1 questionnaires only + tier-2+ unreviewed + M&A-inherited infrastructure outside the central inventory. Sector adversaries treat the full surface as fair game.

The challenge.

Facility-by-facility surface coverage uneven across regions. Tier-1 supplier risk reviewed annually via questionnaire; tier-2+ supplier risk effectively unreviewed. M&A-inherited infrastructure not in central inventory. Sector adversaries (industrial-espionage groups, ransomware operators historically targeting manufacturing) treat the full surface as fair game.

The workflow change.

Deepinfo deployed across the parent + all facility brands + acquired entities as separate portfolios under one platform. EASM Smart Asset Discovery surfaced inherited M&A infrastructure. TPRM extends continuous monitoring to tier-1 + tier-2 supplier networks. CTI Threat Actor Intelligence configured for sector-specific actor groups.

The outcome.

Facility inventory under continuous monitoring at consistent depth. Supplier scoring drives procurement gates at both tier-1 and tier-2 levels. M&A integration handles acquired-entity infrastructure as Smart Asset Discovery brings it into monitoring.

WHAT CHANGED

Concrete outcomes across the group.

  • Facility inventory under continuous monitoring: drift detection across all 20+ facilities at consistent depth.
  • Supplier scoring drives procurement gates: tier-1 + tier-2 supplier evaluation uses Deepinfo scoring.
  • Sector actor intelligence: TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for industrial-espionage and manufacturing-ransomware groups.
  • Continuous evidence for multi-jurisdiction regulators: audit ready across regions.
  • Acquisitions integrate with Smart Asset Discovery: inherited infrastructure surfaces immediately rather than years later.
