Ahlan Cyber

Overview

A major offshore oil company needed to strengthen its operational technology (OT) security and reduce risks across standalone industrial devices. The organization lacked full visibility into connected assets, making it difficult to identify outdated or vulnerable systems. Without clear lifecycle tracking, obsolete devices remained active, widening the overall attack surface.

Ahlan Cyber conducted a comprehensive asset validation and discovery exercise to map every OT and connected device across the network. Using asset identification tools, each device’s proof of work was verified, followed by manual validation and lifecycle documentation to flag end-of-life assets. The team then hardened active systems to meet the highest OT security standards, ensuring that both legacy and modern infrastructure were equally protected.

Ahlan's Solution

The project delivered complete visibility into the client’s OT environment and significantly improved asset-level security. The company received actionable insights on devices requiring replacement or upgrades. Even older systems now operate under hardened configurations, reducing the attack surface and ensuring safer, more resilient industrial operations.
