Securing IT-OT Convergence Across ExxonMobil's Global Energy Operations
See OT security strategy in action. How can you strengthen OT security while keeping critical operations safe and resilient? ExxonMobil deployed Fortinet to improve visibility, simplify policy management, and bring networking and security together across diverse operational environments.
Watch the customer story video to hear directly from an ExxonMobil IT Strategy Manager about the company's approach--and gain practical ideas for evaluating and advancing your own OT security strategy.
How does ExxonMobil secure IT/OT convergence globally?
ExxonMobil is using Fortinet to help secure the convergence of IT and OT across its global energy operations. As traditional IT networks and operational technology (OT) systems become more connected, ExxonMobil needs consistent security controls that work across both environments.
With Fortinet, ExxonMobil can:
- Apply a unified security approach to both IT and OT networks
- Use the same core platform to manage policies, access, and protection across sites
- Support safe, resilient operations worldwide while modernizing critical infrastructure
This unified model helps ExxonMobil reduce complexity, improve visibility into OT environments, and maintain strong security as IT and OT continue to converge.
What benefits does ExxonMobil see from a unified firewall and security platform?
ExxonMobil uses Fortinet to simplify firewall management and bring networking and security together on a single platform. This helps the company:
- Standardize firewall policies across multiple locations and environments
- Reduce the overhead of managing separate tools for IT and OT security
- Improve consistency in how threats are detected and handled
By unifying networking and security, ExxonMobil can reimagine how it protects critical infrastructure—treating security as an integrated part of the network rather than a separate layer. This approach supports more efficient operations and a clearer security posture across global sites.
How does Fortinet help ExxonMobil gain OT visibility and modernize infrastructure?
ExxonMobil is using Fortinet to gain deeper visibility into OT environments and to support the modernization of critical infrastructure. As OT systems connect more closely with IT, visibility becomes essential for both security and operational reliability.
Fortinet helps ExxonMobil:
- See more of what is happening across OT networks and assets
- Identify and manage security risks in industrial environments
- Modernize OT infrastructure while maintaining safe, resilient operations
This approach allows ExxonMobil to rethink how it manages and protects OT, using a unified security framework that spans both traditional IT and industrial systems.
