Case Study: Leading Manufacturer Brings 5,000 Devices Across 200 Sites Under One Dashboard

A leading manufacturer's physical security team was managing 5,000 devices across 200 sites; cameras, recording servers, switches, and access control panels from fifteen different vendors. See how they replaced ad hoc tracking with a data-backed strategy for maintenance, cyber hygiene, and multi-year budget planning.

What you'll take away

  • Why fleet diversity (many vendors, many models, many install dates) quietly breaks manual approaches to end-of-life and end-of-service tracking.
  • How consolidated EOL/EOS data turned into site scorecards for 100+ locations and became the backbone of a 3-to-5-year budget planning process shared with facilities, operations, and leadership.
  • The automation gaps that pushed the team off other tools: lagging firmware updates, password rotation at scale, and device hardening across a mixed fleet.
  • What real-time health monitoring, remote remediation, and GSOC alerts unlocked once every device sat behind one dashboard.

You're responsible for a large, multi-vendor physical security fleet and need EOL/EOS visibility that holds up in front of your CFO, not just your operations team.
