Posted by Delhi: SRF Limited, a leading Indian chemical and industrial manufacturing company, has bolstered its industrial cybersecurity with Tenable One Platform. The move aims to strengthen SRF’s cyber defence posture across its IT and operational technology (OT) infrastructure.
With ransomware and supply chain attacks increasingly impacting industrial sectors, SRF is embracing a unified cybersecurity strategy to bridge the gap between IT and OT environments. The integration of Tenable One will enable the company to gain end-to-end visibility of its cyber risk, benchmark its security performance, and proactively mitigate vulnerabilities that matter most.
“The biggest challenge in our industry lies in proactively outpacing the relentless evolution of cyber threats,” said Sanjay Rao, President and CIO of 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.”
According to data from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), 90% of cyber incidents in critical infrastructure stem from IT-based identity exposures, a trend that underscores the urgency of a converged security approach.
“Cybersecurity is not about eliminating all vulnerabilities, it’s about knowing which ones matter most and acting before attackers do,” said Rajeev Verma, CISO of 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.”
Under its SecureOT initiative, SRF will establish a centralised OT monitoring centre, roll out improved network segmentation, and deploy advanced threat detection. The approach also ensures compliance with global cybersecurity frameworks and regulatory standards.
“SRF is setting a new standard for cybersecurity in manufacturing by adopting a proactive, unified approach to risk management,” said Nigel Ng, SVP of 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.”
SRF’s deployment of Tenable One signals a growing shift in India’s manufacturing sector toward holistic cyber risk management, which is a necessity in today’s evolving digital threat landscape.
