Britvic's Journey to Enhanced Asset Visibility & Risk Mitigation with Claroty

Opportunity Overview

Britvic has invested in state-of-the-art technology across all manufacturing sites to ensure they are operating at the highest standards.

Britvic faced a series of challenges that included improving compliance adherence and limited visibility into operational technology (OT) devices. The absence of comprehensive insight into their OT network and devices hindered their ability to streamline operations and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Challenge

• Complex compliance adherence

• Limited visibility into CPS devices and understanding of where they reside within IACS environment

• Operational inefficiencies due to lack of insight into the OT network

Britvic leveraged Claroty’s Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) solution to help address the need for compliance while gaining continuous remote visibility, security, and control for every device in Britvic’s OT environment.

“The Claroty xDome platform was extremely easy to set up. The support from Claroty has been excellent with in-depth training sessions to allow us to use the tool effectively and efficiently. With xDome we managed to install the server and start getting data within 2 hours, and the data we got allowed us to act quickly on issues that we hadn’t already noticed in our environment.”

Solution

• Implemented Claroty Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) Hybrid with EMC management in AWS Cloud, as well as Claroty Secure Remote access (SRA) for OT remote access and management

• Real-time visibility into OT devices

• Better network segmentation for improved security

• Vulnerability discovery to identify and address security risks promptly

• Migrating new sites to Claroty xDome to leverage the power of the cloud, allowing better scalability and immediate function and threat updates

This newfound visibility allowed for better network segmentation, ensuring a secure and well-organized network architecture. Furthermore, Britvic also implemented Claroty’s Secure Remote Access (SRA) solution, which has since served as a secure and controlled method to remotely access and manage their OT devices and systems with better remote management, enhanced security controls, and an audit trail of all remote activities — thereby allowing Brivit to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

Benefits

• Identifying all devices through Asset Discovery

• Enhanced operational efficiency and better risk mitigation

• Real-time monitoring and alerts for suspicious activities

• Strengthened security posture with timely vulnerability identification

• Using vulnerability discovery to patch and protect equipment

• Secure remote access for authorized personnel, resulting in savings in time and resources

• Enhanced compliance adherence

Impressed by the results achieved following its initial deployments, Britvic chose to expand their partnership with Claroty. The company decided to migrate to Claroty xDome, a comprehensive platform that offers not only the existing CTD and SRA capabilities — but that also provides timely, automatic updates on the latest functionality and vulnerability information via its SaaS-powered core. As Britvic extends its reach to new sites in France and Brazil, the deployment of Claroty xDome will allow them to replicate the same unmatched level of service, security, and compliance adherence. The added advantage of automatic updates ensures that Britvic stays up-to-date with the evolving threat landscape and benefits from the latest features to fortify their operational technology.

Continuous Threat Detection

With Claroty CTD, Britvic has live monitoring and security for all of their OT environments, which also leverages Claroty’s AWS based EMC to manage all in one place. The detection capabilities and visualization of the environment give Britvic unprecedented visibility and control of OT, while automated updating and documentation of the latest vulnerabilities allows Britvic to hold their OT vendors accountable for timely mitigation of existing risks. With Claroty xDome being implemented for new sites, Britvic retains the advantage of CTD and gains immediate access to new features and threat definitions and along with leveraging AWS Services providing the inherent scalability of AWS, encrypted connections between on-premise networks and AWS, along with ease of integration into the AWS landscape.
