Enhancing Security Visibility and Threat Management for a Leading Indian Shipbuilding Organization

Ports

Problem / Solution Overview

A leading shipbuilding organization in India, ISO 9001:2008 certified and established in 1934, is known for its excellence in designing and constructing naval vessels and submarines. After being taken over by the Government in 1960, it became a key contributor to the country’s defence manufacturing ecosystem.

However, as operations scaled, the organization faced limited visibility across its growing IT landscape. Monitoring applications, endpoints, and network infrastructure required multiple resources, leading to fragmented responses and higher security risks. Insider threats also became harder to detect due to decentralized monitoring systems.

To address these challenges, SM Networks implemented a Fortinet Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution, delivering a unified, intelligent platform for security visibility and response.

Key Deliverables

Deployment of Fortinet SIEM for centralized threat management.
Integration of multiple monitoring systems into a single console.
Configuration of automated alerts and incident response protocols.
Implementation of compliance reporting and audit support features.

Client Impact

Achieved complete visibility across applications, endpoints, and infrastructure.
Enabled automated incident response and proactive threat monitoring.
Simplified compliance reporting and reduced manual audit workloads.
Enhanced system performance and availability, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Technologies Used

Enterprise-grade servers with high-availability configurations.
SAN storage systems for scalable data handling.
Tape library for secure data backup and retention.
