The growing threat to industrial operations

According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), today’s OT attacks increasingly originate from IT environments, with identity exposures accounting for 90% of initial access to critical infrastructure.

“The biggest challenge in our industry lies in proactively outpacing the relentless evolution of cyber threats,” said Sanjay Rao, President and Chief Information Officer, SRF Limited. “The escalating frequency of ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks, which now target both IT and OT environments, demands a delicate balance of robust security measures without compromising the agility and user experience vital for business operations.”

A unified view of cyber risk with Tenable One

The adoption of Tenable One enables SRF to measure global cyber risk exposure through a single, unified platform. The solution provides benchmark comparisons against industry peers and deeper insights into OT assets, helping the company make faster, more informed risk-based decisions.

“Cybersecurity is not about eliminating all vulnerabilities; it’s about knowing which ones matter most and acting before attackers do,” said Rajeev Verma, Chief Information Security Officer, SRF Limited. “Tenable has helped us continuously assess and prioritise IT risks for years. We are now extending that confidence into OT with Tenable One, gaining a unified view of our exposure, whether at headquarters or on the factory floor.”

SRF’s SecureOT Initiative sets a new standard

With the expanded deployment of Tenable One, SRF is developing a centralized OT security monitoring centre as part of its SecureOT initiative. The company is also enhancing network segmentation and deploying advanced threat detection solutions to improve its cyber defenses. These measures reflect SRF’s commitment to reducing overall cyber risk, enhancing operational resilience, and complying with global cybersecurity regulations.

“SRF is setting a new standard for cybersecurity in manufacturing by adopting a proactive, unified approach to risk management,” said Nigel Ng, Senior Vice President, Tenable, Asia Pacific and Japan. “As cyber threats targeting industrial systems grow more rampant, SRF is leading by example by unifying security visibility, insight and action across the attack surface, empowering themselves to isolate and eradicate priority cyber exposures across the enterprise.”

This enhanced cybersecurity posture marks a significant milestone in SRF’s journey to drive digital transformation while safeguarding its critical manufacturing operations.
