Manufacturing group gains centralised security monitoring with SIEM and a 24x7 SOC

A manufacturing group replaced fragmented logging with a centralised SIEM and a 24x7 SolvexData SOC, cutting Mean Time to Detect by 70% across more than 1,000 assets.

CLIENT SNAPSHOT

Manufacturing · Multi-plant operations · 1,000+ IT assets spanning firewalls, servers, cloud infrastructure, Active Directory and security appliances

What changed in production.

002Centralised monitoring across 1,000+ assets
00324x7 SOC coverage from the SolvexData operations centre
004Audit-ready compliance reporting available on demand
01 / THE CHALLENGE

Where the pressure started.

The client had no central place where security logs came together. Suspicious activities were only noticed after the fact, usually when something broke. Firewalls, servers, cloud workloads, Active Directory and security devices each had their own console, and the internal team could not correlate signals across them. Compliance reporting was a manual scramble every quarter.

02 / WHAT WE DID

Designed for the real operating environment.

  • Deployed an enterprise SIEM platform as the single security data lake for the group.
  • Integrated log sources across firewalls, servers, cloud infrastructure, Active Directory, and security devices and applications.
  • Built detection use cases mapped to the group's threat model, with correlation rules tuned to fire only on real signals.
  • Stood up a 24x7 SolvexData SOC covering monitoring, threat correlation, incident investigation and reporting.
  • Introduced ITSM integration so security incidents flow into the same ticketing system as IT operations.
  • Set up automated compliance dashboards for internal audit and external certifications.
03 / OUTCOMES

The result is more than a platform.

↗ Centralised monitoring across more than 1,000 assets.
↗ Mean Time to Detect reduced by 70%.
↗ Compliance and audit readiness improved, with reports produced on demand rather than assembled quarterly.
↗ Enhanced visibility into security events across IT and, where in scope, OT boundaries.
↗ Proactive threat detection replacing reactive incident handling.
