Tenable strengthens SRF’s cybersecurity across IT and OT systems

By deploying Tenable One, SRF aims to build a centralized OT security monitoring center, improve network segmentation, and implement advanced threat detection, reinforcing its SecureOT initiative and commitment to resilience and global cybersecurity compliance

Tenable, a global leader in exposure management, has announced that SRF Limited has expanded its cybersecurity footprint by adopting the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. The move strengthens SRF’s long-standing partnership with Tenable and marks a critical step in the company’s strategy to modernise cyber risk management across its operations.

As a leading chemical-based multi-business manufacturing entity, SRF is focusing on securing both its IT and OT environments amid rising cyber threats in the industrial sector. By deploying Tenable One, SRF aims to gain unified visibility into its cyber risk landscape, enabling proactive defence against vulnerabilities and improved response capabilities.

“The biggest challenge in our industry lies in proactively outpacing the relentless evolution of cyber threats,” said Sanjay Rao, President and Chief Information Officer, SRF Limited. “The escalating frequency of ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks, which now target both IT and OT environments, demands a delicate balance of robust security measures without compromising the agility and user experience vital for business operations.”

According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), today’s OT attacks increasingly originate from IT environments, and identity exposures account for 90% of initial access to critical infrastructure. The deployment of Tenable One enables SRF Limited to measure its global cyber risk exposure in a unified view, benchmark its security posture against industry peers, and gain deeper insights from OT assets to drive faster, more informed decisions.

“Cybersecurity is not about eliminating all vulnerabilities, it’s about knowing which ones matter most and acting before attackers do,” said Rajeev Verma, Chief Information Security Officer, SRF Limited. “Tenable has helped us continuously assess and prioritise IT risks for years. We are now extending that confidence into OT with Tenable One, gaining a unified view of our exposure, whether at headquarters or on the factory floor”.

With the deployment of Tenable One, SRF aims to establish a centralised OT security monitoring centre as part of its SecureOT initiative, enhance network segmentation, and roll out advanced threat detection solutions. This move underscores SRF’s commitment to reducing cyber risk, improving operational resilience, and aligning with global cybersecurity regulations.

“SRF is setting a new standard for cybersecurity in manufacturing by adopting a proactive, unified approach to risk management,” said Nigel Ng, Senior Vice President, Tenable, Asia Pacific and Japan. “As cyber threats targeting industrial systems grow more rampant, SRF is leading by example by unifying security visibility, insight and action across the attack surface, empowering themselves to isolate and eradicate priority cyber exposures across the enterprise.”
