4. Implementation of Advanced Security Measures:
   • Deployed next-generation firewalls and intrusion detection systems to safeguard the network perimeter.
   • Implemented endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions across all workstations and servers.
   • Set up a secure, segregated network for IoT devices used in smart manufacturing processes.
   • Established a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system for real-time threat monitoring and response.
5. Data Protection and Encryption:
   • Implemented robust encryption protocols for data at rest and in transit, with a focus on protecting proprietary designs and customer information.
   • Set up a secure backup and disaster recovery system to ensure business continuity in case of a cyber incident.
6. Employee Training and Awareness Program:
   • Developed and conducted comprehensive cybersecurity awareness training for all employees, from shop floor to executive level.
   • Created role-specific training modules for IT staff, emphasizing best practices in secure system administration.
7. Incident Response Planning:
   • Formulated a detailed incident response plan, including step-by-step procedures for various types of cyber threats.
   • Conducted tabletop exercises to test and refine the incident response capabilities of AzarGhapi’s team.
8. Compliance and Documentation:
   • Ensured all implemented measures complied with relevant industry standards and regulations.
   • Provided extensive documentation of the entire security infrastructure for future reference and audits.

Results and Impact
