How a Global Manufacturer Modernized Security After Two Breaches
The Challenge
A global manufacturer had been breached twice. Its environment was heavily on-premises, with aging infrastructure, limited security tooling, and no around-the-clock threat monitoring. Leadership needed a way to modernize security and move to a scalable managed model without pulling internal IT away from core operations.
Bluewave’s Role
Bluewave advised on a NIST CSF-based maturity assessment to identify the most critical gaps across prevention, detection, response, and compliance. From there, we helped the client evaluate MDR, SASE, and SD-WAN providers and build a fully managed security model with 12 upgraded or deployed capabilities.
Our Results:
Detection and response maturity improved from Level 1 to Level 4
24×7 SOC/MDR coverage with sub-5-minute incident notifications
30% reduction in WAN infrastructure spend
Internal IT freed from day-to-day monitoring
