Our client, an IT service provider, was tasked with upgrading a manufacturing client’s antivirus solution, spanning 38 locations, 7 time zones, and 5,000 endpoints.

Multiple legacy systems, limited cybersecurity personnel, and strict production continuity requirements made this antivirus overhaul particularly daunting. No direct internet on the production floor meant new software had to be deployed without disrupting 615 critical applications. Compounding the challenge were 264 stringent security policies, all under a tight 3.5-month deadline.

Lacking the in-house capabilities to handle this highly complex task, they called on Clue’s specialized expertise.

The IT service provider teamed up with Clue to design and implement a resilient antivirus strategy, ensuring there’d be no disruptions to the manufacturing client’s operations.

• Secure, scalable architecture
  A proxy-based cloud connector allowed safe software updates, even in offline production networks, while Kubernetes-based deployments simplified global rollout.

• Gradual, zero-downtime rollout
  Running old and new antivirus solutions in parallel, along with extensive testing, ensured business continuity and minimized disruptions.

• Centralized monitoring & control
  An EDR platform offered real-time insights, while a 24/7 SOC monitored and countered threats as they emerged.

• 100% of requirements met
  Every security and uptime demand was fulfilled to the letter, leaving no loose ends or unfinished tasks.

• Record completion time
  The entire rollout wrapped up in just 3.5 months, well ahead of traditional timelines for projects of this scale.

• Stronger, more efficient security posture
  Consolidating four disparate antivirus solutions into a single, standardized approach dramatically lowered overhead, while end-to-end visibility and 24/7 monitoring fortified defense against sophisticated threats.
