Client background and need

A client in the food production industry wanted to test the security of the wireless networks at their main production facility to ensure operational services were protected and to minimize the risk of service outages.

Baker Tilly's solution-driven approach

Baker Tilly visited the main production facility and began walking outside and inside the facility to identify various networks that were available for testing. During the testing Baker Tilly identified multiple networks that the organization was no longer using which also had lower-level security protocols and weaker passwords. These networks were vulnerable to attack and could allow unauthorized access to facility services that posed a risk to production outages.

The accomplished results

The client quickly disabled the unused networks while the team was on-site and the team was able to validate that the networks were no longer accessible and the other networks were secure from unauthorized access.
