Modernising security operations for a complex manufacturing environment

Global, Jul 1, 2026

Overview

A large, multisite European manufacturing organisation needed to modernise its security operations and strengthen cyber resilience during a complex phase of growth and transformation.

By moving to a scalable SIEM platform and introducing a fully managed Security Operations Centre (SOC), the organisation significantly enhanced visibility, detection capabilities, and operational control across its environment.

The challenge

Operating across multiple locations with diverse production and supply chain activities, the organisation faced increasing pressure to strengthen its cyber security posture.

Several challenges were impacting its ability to respond effectively:

  • A legacy SIEM platform providing only limited monitoring and analytical capabilities
  • Gaps in internal security resources and unclear requirements during a critical transformation phase
  • The need for a scalable, high-performance platform capable of advanced threat detection
  • Complex multi-team delivery requirements spanning different countries, creating governance challenges

At the same time, the organisation needed to ensure compliance with evolving regulatory requirements while maintaining operational continuity across a distributed environment.

The approach

Logicalis designed and delivered a comprehensive security transformation programme, combining platform modernisation with managed services.

The solution centred on three key components:

SIEM modernisation

  • Migration from a legacy platform to a modern SIEM solution with advanced analytics
  • Mapping and enhancement of detection logic using industry-aligned security frameworks
  • Integration of multiple use cases with scope for continuous expansion

Scalable cloud-based architecture

  • Deployment of a flexible cloud infrastructure to support evolving data and monitoring needs
  • Standardised data ingestion and normalisation to ensure consistent visibility and reporting

24/7 managed SOC

  • Continuous monitoring and threat detection delivered through a managed SOC model
  • Structured incident response aligned to defined severity levels
  • Integration of threat intelligence and proactive security practices, including regular testing and investigation activities

Governance and delivery model

  • Clear governance framework to coordinate multiple stakeholders across regions
  • Structured rollout from implementation to steady-state operations
  • Defined service management processes to ensure long-term consistency and performance

This approach enabled a smooth transition from legacy tools to a more integrated, scalable, and future-ready security operating model.

The outcomes

The transformation delivered significant improvements across the organisation’s security posture.

  • Enhanced visibility - Centralised monitoring provides a unified view across a complex, multi-site environment.
  • Advanced threat detection - Modern analytics capabilities enable faster and more accurate identification of potential threats.  
  • Operational efficiency - A fully managed service reduces internal workload while improving response capability.
  • Scalability and future readiness - The new platform supports ongoing growth, additional data sources, and evolving regulatory requirements.
  • Stronger governance - Clear reporting structures and processes improve accountability and alignment across teams and regions.

Looking ahead

With a modern SIEM platform and managed SOC now in place, the organisation is well positioned to strengthen its security maturity over time.

This engagement highlights how organisations can successfully transition from legacy security models to integrated, intelligence-led operations, even within complex, distributed environments.

It also demonstrates the value of combining technology transformation, managed services, and strong governance to deliver sustainable, long-term cyber resilience.
