For over 45 years, Thai Union has been a global leader in the seafood industry, known for bringing high-quality, healthy, and innovative seafood products to customers worldwide. With a commitment to “Healthy Living, Healthy Oceans” the company strives to create a sustainable future for humans, pets, and the planet. As one of the world’s largest producers of shelf-stable tuna and the owner of market-leading international brands like Chicken of the Sea and John West, Thai Union’s focus on sustainability extends beyond its products to its operations—including a robust cyber security strategy.
In partnership with CyberOne, the Thai Union strengthened its global cyber security posture, ensuring its continued growth and leadership in the seafood industry. Through this collaboration, they implemented a cutting-edge security solution that integrates seamlessly across their global infrastructure.
Securing a Global Footprint: A Complex Landscape
As a global company with over 50,000 employees and a complex IT environment spanning North America, Asia and Europe, Thai Union needed a scalable and robust cyber security solution. Their hybrid infrastructure, which integrates both legacy systems and modern cloud technologies, presented a significant challenge in terms of visibility and threat management. With a strong focus on sustainability and risk management, Thai Union sought to modernise its security posture to protect its global operations while continuing to grow.
Tailored Cyber Security for a Seamless Integration
Thai Union explored various Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Operations Centre (SOC) options, but it was CyberOne’s approach that stood out. Leveraging the Microsoft Security stack, CyberOne introduced a cloud-first security solution, including Microsoft Sentinel for SIEM and Microsoft Defender XDR for Extended Detection and Response (XDR). This end-to-end solution centralised security management, enhanced visibility across the global infrastructure and integrated seamlessly with both cloud and legacy systems.
CyberOne’s unique approach, combining deep expertise in Microsoft technologies and a focus on sustainability and risk management, made it the preferred partner. Through workshops and hands-on guidance, CyberOne demonstrated the broader value of the Microsoft Security suite, showcasing how it aligned with Thai Union’s objectives.
Elevating Cyber Security While Maximising Efficiency
- Enhanced Visibility and Control: Microsoft’s SIEM and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) capabilities provided Thai Union with centralised management, enabling real-time monitoring and visibility across their global IT infrastructure.
- Strengthened Security Posture: The integration of Microsoft’s security stack significantly reduced response times and vulnerabilities. Thai Union’s ability to detect, respond to and mitigate threats in real-time was dramatically improved.
- Global Scalability: CyberOne’s solution offered seamless management of cyber security across Thai Union’s global operations, ensuring consistent and efficient protection.
- Improved Efficiency: Automation within the security framework reduced incident response times, allowing Thai Union’s security teams to focus on continuous improvement and strategic initiatives.
- Cost-Effective Security: By leveraging the comprehensive Microsoft platform, Thai Union maximised existing investments and avoided the need for multiple third-party vendors, reducing costs and simplifying operations.
Looking Ahead: Securing the Future of Thai Union
Thai Union’s partnership with CyberOne has delivered a transformative impact on the company’s cyber security posture. With enhanced visibility, stronger threat detection and response capabilities and scalable management, Thai Union is now well-positioned to protect its global operations against evolving cyber threats. This strategic alignment with CyberOne has not only strengthened their security but also ensured cost-efficiency, operational simplicity and a future-proofed security strategy.
“The successful go-live of our SOC marks an important milestone in strengthening our security posture. The dedication and collaboration of the CyberOne team, along with their deep expertise in Microsoft’s security technologies, have been pivotal in this achievement. With the SOC now operational, I’m excited to continue this partnership as we work to further enhance our global cyber security capabilities and resilience.”
Virag Thakkar, Head of Security at Thai Union
“Our partnership with Thai Union is a testament to how a well-executed cyber security strategy can transform a global organisation’s security posture. By leveraging the power of Microsoft Security, we’ve not only enhanced their threat detection and response capabilities but also laid a foundation for ongoing resilience and growth. We look forward to continuing our work with Thai Union to strengthen their cyber security posture further, ensuring they stay ahead of emerging threats while supporting their global growth and innovation.”
