The Challenge
The case study revolves around a large enterprise aerospace & defense company that was facing significant challenges in terms of its cybersecurity. The company was struggling with the detection of advanced threats that were hiding in web, email, and lateral spread traffic. The company needed a solution that could be deployed across multiple sites and managed as a single system. Additionally, the company was looking for a cost-effective solution to these challenges. The company's existing security tools were not sufficient in detecting threats, leading to potential vulnerabilities and risks to critical data.
About The Customer
The customer in this case study is a large enterprise aerospace & defense company. The company has a policy against publicly endorsing vendors, hence the company's name has been kept confidential. The company operates in the aerospace and defense industry, which is known for its high standards of security and confidentiality. The company operates across multiple sites and was looking for a cybersecurity solution that could be deployed and managed as a single system. The company was facing challenges in detecting advanced threats hiding in web, email, and lateral spread traffic, and was in need of a cost-effective solution.
The Solution
The company turned to Cyphort, a cybersecurity solution, to address these challenges. Cyphort was chosen for its strong detection of advanced threats hiding in web, email, and lateral spread traffic, its ability to be deployed across multiple sites and managed as a single system, and its cost-effectiveness. The company used Cyphort's web collectors positioned at their network perimeter to detect threats as they enter or exit their network. Additionally, the company integrated Cyphort with their Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) or other orchestration tools to provide additional intelligence around potential threats. The company also used Cyphort in conjunction with their existing Cisco and Juniper Intrusion Prevention Systems and other SIEM tools.

Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.

Accelerate Production for Spirit AeroSystems
The manufacture and assembly of massive fuselage assemblies and other large structures generates a river of data. In fact, the bill of materials for a single fuselage alone can be millions of rows of data. In-house production processes and testing, as well as other manufacturers and customers created data flows that overwhelmed previous processes and information systems. Spirit’s customer base had grown substantially since their 2005 divestiture from Boeing, resulting in a $41 billion backlog of orders to fill. To address this backlog, meet increased customer demands and minimize additional capital investment, the company needed a way to improve throughput in the existing operational footprint. Spirit had a requirement from customers to increase fuselage production by 30%. To accomplish this goal, Spirit needed real-time information on its value chain and workflow. However, the two terabytes of data being pulled from their SAP ECC was unmanageable and overloaded their business warehouse. It had become time-consuming and difficult to pull aggregate data, disaggregate it for the needed information and then reassemble to create a report. During the 6-8 hours it took to build a report, another work shift (they run three per day) would have already taken place, thus the report content was out-of-date before it was ever delivered. As a result, supervisors often had to rely on manual efforts to provide charts, reports and analysis.
