The Challenge
Roper Pump faced significant challenges in managing and securing a diverse and distributed network. The company lacked visibility into its infrastructure, which included over 300 workstations, 125 servers, and AWS cloud infrastructure. Additionally, the IT team was constrained by limited resources and needed to satisfy risk management questionnaires from strategic customers. The increasing threat environment and the need to protect valuable intellectual property further complicated the situation. The company required a comprehensive solution to monitor its infrastructure and gather security insights from log data generated by its various IT systems.

The company leverages its expertise in fluid dynamics to deliver superior engineering offerings for challenging applications. With over 260 employees, Roper Pump operates offices in Commerce, Georgia, Houston, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois. The company's IT team manages a diverse infrastructure, including over 300 workstations, 125 servers, and AWS cloud infrastructure. Roper Pump differentiates itself in the fluid dynamics marketplace through superior technology and spends considerable time ensuring the security of its valuable intellectual property, which includes patented processes and products.
The Solution
Roper Pump selected Arctic Wolf’s SOC-as-a-Service featuring Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to address its cybersecurity challenges. The solution was initially deployed in early 2017 across Roper Pump's on-premises environment and later extended to its AWS deployment. Arctic Wolf's MDR offering provided comprehensive monitoring and compliance capabilities, including visibility into administrative accounts and previously unwatched activities. The service also included regular review meetings with Arctic Wolf's Concierge Security Team to improve Roper Pump's security posture. Arctic Wolf monitors the AWS environment, including Amazon EC2 instances and S3 storage buckets, ensuring everything is properly configured, locked down, and monitored on an ongoing basis. The MDR service also helps contain threats on endpoints, making the IT team more efficient and effective.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
