Kester Industrial secures OT network with Sophos XDR
A precision-manufacturing group segmented its OT network, deployed Sophos XDR, and onboarded to AURA's SOC — with zero production interruption.

Kester's production floor ran flat with corporate IT. A recent industry-wide advisory highlighted OT-specific ransomware families their controls could not detect. Downtime tolerance on the production line was measured in minutes.
AURA Technologies designed and deployed a Purdue-model segmentation with Sophos Firewall at each cell, integrated Sophos XDR across IT and OT-adjacent assets, and layered 24/7 SOC monitoring with custom OT playbooks.
Full segmentation and XDR rollout completed with zero production stoppage. Mean time to detect suspicious OT-adjacent activity dropped from days to under 12 minutes.
“AURA Technologies gave us the OT visibility we needed without ever putting a production shift at risk.”
