Strengthening Cybersecurity at Fagor Industrial, S. Coop.: A Customized Solution from Ironchip for Comprehensive Identity and Privilege Management
Challenge
Fagor Industrial, S. Coop., an international industrial cooperative based in Oñate, Basque Country, and composed of a community of 800 members, was facing a critical challenge in the security of its systems. Since its foundation in 1974, the company has experienced significant growth, accentuating the importance of protecting its valuable digital assets. With the increasing need for remote access to its resources, the security of its data and industrial processes had become a primary concern. The complexity in managing RDP and SSH accesses, along with the challenges inherent in escalating privileges on Linux systems, posed significant obstacles to safeguarding the cooperative's sensitive information. Simplifying identity and privilege management became crucial to maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of data in an increasingly exposed business environment with complex cyber threats.
Solution

After a thorough analysis of their existing security infrastructure, we implemented a customized solution that focused on strengthening the cooperative's digital identity. To secure RDP accesses, a RADIUS server was integrated, ensuring secure and efficient authentication. For SSH connections, an Ironchip specialized agent was implemented, ensuring robust encryption and complete protection of communications. Surprisingly, the integration of this Ironchip agent was achieved in just half an hour, minimizing downtime and maximizing the security of critical systems. Ironchip also customized the application according to the specific needs of Fagor Industrial, S. Coop., further enhancing the security and operational efficiency of the company.
The implemented identity solution combined biometric authentication, push notifications, and user confirmation through a trusted device. This combination of factors provided an additional layer of strong security, ensuring that only authorized members could access Fagor Industrial, S. Coop.'s critical systems. Additionally, centralized security policy management was established, allowing the cooperative to closely monitor and control all user interactions with sensitive resources, ensuring comprehensive protection of the infrastructure against internal and external threats.
