91 operations centre with the SOC. This brought the logs into one operations centre, where Open Systems engineers carry out investigations and respond accordingly. MDR+ has enabled Chemours to manage its cybersecurity with a smaller in-house team. Open Systems’ Mission Control SOC analysts and engineers have expert knowledge of the Chemours environment, which allows them to go beyond detection and response and actually mitigate the threats. “The service that Open Systems provides for us is actually fulfilling the need of 10, maybe even 12 full-time individuals,” says Williams. “With Open Systems, they’re doing the engineering, they’re doing the analysis, they’re building capabilities that I don’t have to shoulder myself.” Open Systems’ Microsoft expertise, integrations and machine learning models now provide Chemours with better context on its attack surface, improved integration with Microsoft tools for simpler coordination with IT, and secure configuration of critical Microsoft infrastructure. Chemours can also use Azure Lighthouse to connect Microsoft Sentinel to Open Systems, bringing the analytics from the disparate plants together in a secure cloud environment and maintaining full data retention. This ensures the company never loses visibility or control of its data. “Open Systems became an integral part of the cybersecurity maturity model we aspired to – and achieved,” says Williams. Given that Chemours produces chemicals that are critical to modern-day living, data security and compliance will always be paramount. “If there’s a threat, I need a solution for that threat,” says Williams. “Open Systems MDR+ not only solves my compliance needs, but it also extends beyond detection and response to mitigate threats.”
