Empowering Bridgestone with Cyber Defense

Challenge

The client faced an escalating challenge of cyber threats, targeting Intellectual Property (IP) theft from its R&D sites and disrupting production lines in factories. Outdated security infrastructure and lack of real-time threat monitoring rendered them vulnerable to advanced persistent threats (APTs) and industrial espionage.

Solution

Link Group was commissioned to fortify the cybersecurity framework. Our team of security experts began by conducting extensive penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities within the client’s networks and systems. They employed a combination of tools, including Metasploit and Wireshark, for network analysis and exploitation testing. This allowed for a comprehensive understanding of potential entry points for hackers.

Link Group then deployed an integrated security information and event management (SIEM) solution, coupled with an AI-based anomaly detection system, for real-time monitoring of the client's infrastructure. We also instituted a robust incident response plan, including automated containment procedures and threat intelligence, to address any security incidents swiftly.

Finally, our team established a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) equipped with cutting-edge technologies to continuously monitor and defend against cyber threats.

Results

• The number of successful cyber-attacks decreased by 97% over the first six months.
• The incident response time was reduced from an average of 12 hours to less than 30 minutes, enhancing the ability to mitigate threats effectively.
• The client saved a significant amount annually due to reduced downtime and safeguarding of intellectual property.
