Hitachi Energy Leverages OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Core and K2100 Mobile Kiosks to Protect their Supply Chain

Enhancing Supply Chain Resilience with OPSWAT Solutions

Global organizations like Hitachi Energy face an ever-growing challenge: safeguarding their supply chains against cyberthreats. Jeremy Morgan, Global Cyber Security Manager at Hitachi Energy, understands the gravity of this responsibility all too well. With service engineers across 90 countries, six research and development centers on multiple continents, and numerous developers and project teams working on large-scale infrastructure projects, the risk of becoming a supply chain vulnerability is a constant concern.

Morgan discusses how OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Core and OPSWAT MetaDefender K2100 Mobile Kiosks are helping Hitachi Energy address its critical supply chain security challenges.

Hitachi’s Transformational Journey with MetaDefender Core

Morgan described the company's shift from a custom antivirus solution with a few engines to adopting OPSWAT's MetaDefender Core. This allowed them to centralize services, streamline processes, and establish consistent global cybersecurity standards.

By using a product like OPSWAT MetaDefender Core, we successfully addressed this issue. I could centralize all of Hitachi Energy's global services onto a single server.

Morgan also emphasized the importance of integrating MetaDefender Core into their workflows. This integration empowered developers and service engineers to efficiently scan files, even in remote areas with limited connectivity. Moreover, it allowed them to provide concrete evidence of due diligence to their customers.

Protecting the Last Mile of the Supply Chain with OPSWAT Mobile Kiosks

One of the strategies that Morgan discussed was Hitachi Energy's deployment of OPSWAT MetaDefender K2100 Mobile Kiosks, critical components of their last-mile supply chain security. Engineers operating in remote, low-connectivity areas can now access the latest security updates and perform scans before, during, and after their assignments. This ensures comprehensive protection, even in the most challenging environments, where conventional security measures might falter.

Using [OPSWAT] mobile kiosks, I can protect myself, and if necessary, we have evidence to show that we performed scans.
