Industrial organizations are facing higher risks of OT cyberattacks than ever before. As technology advances, threat actors are becoming more sophisticated, and attacks are becoming more damaging. Many manufacturers are searching for the right way to modernize OT security, while minimizing impacts on production operations.

Church & Dwight, manufacturer of high-quality products and brands such as Arm & Hammer™, OxiClean™, ZICAM®, and Waterpik®, knows that embracing a modern industrial cybersecurity strategy can safeguard operations. David Ortiz, Chief Information Security Officer at Church & Dwight, knew that leveraging an experienced OT cybersecurity partner, like Rockwell Automation, would be critical for OT cybersecurity success. Our cybersecurity team collaborated with Church & Dwight to identify where to start, how to align solutions with business needs, cultivate organizational buy-in, and execute a uniform OT security strategy across their enterprise.

 This collaborative process has enhanced Church & Dwight’s capabilities to manage OT cybersecurity risk through asset visibility and threat detection. The upfront investment was a proactive step by Church & Dwight to minimize potential risk that could impact the availability of manufacturing operations.

It starts with the Right Partner

Church & Dwight, like many other manufacturing organizations, saw an increased need for visibility across IT and OT networks. With an increasingly connected plant floor, Ortiz knew that a proactive approach to OT cybersecurity would ultimately reduce downtime, mitigate cyber risks, and increase employee safety. David knew that finding the right partner would be integral to successfully developing and implementing an industrial cybersecurity program across the enterprise. After conducting research and identifying what the organization’s goals and objectives were, David looked to us to help establish a path forward for Church & Dwight. Our long-term partnership, and over 100 years of industrial expertise, made us the right fit for the job.

As an established leader in the industrial sector, we have experience helping manufacturers of all sizes, across all industries, overcome their OT cybersecurity challenges – no matter where they are on their OT security journey. Backed by years of industrial automation experience, our cybersecurity team has the knowledge and skills needed to design, implement, analyze, and support an OT security strategy aligned with the NIST cybersecurity framework. We recognize that it is important for global companies to have consistency and standardization in OT security across their enterprise, and our services and solutions support that.

Designing a Cyber-Forward Organization

Creating an OT cybersecurity strategy, and actually implementing the strategy effectively are two completely different tasks. It can be challenging for manufacturing organizations to cultivate an environment where manufacturing, IT, and leadership teams align on OT cybersecurity initiatives. In high-demand manufacturing, a lot is at stake when production is halted.

We partnered with Church & Dwight to create a customized, three-phased approach to OT cybersecurity that ultimately created a cyber-aware culture across their enterprise.

In this on demand webinar, David Ortiz, CISO from Church & Dwight, sits down with Mark Cristiano, Commercial Director for Global Cybersecurity Services at Rockwell Automation, to discuss Church & Dwight’s OT cybersecurity journey. Attendees will hear as Mark and David discuss the common cybersecurity challenges that face OT organizations in the digital age, how to overcome them, and how we can work with you to define where to start and how to successfully implement a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy across both IT and OT networks.
