Securing critical infrastructure with automation
Discover how automated configuration replaced manual scripts, making Windows device management easier and more reliable, so IT teams can work smarter and keep devices secure everywhere.
A critical infrastructure environment faced increasing pressure from fast-evolving security requirements and regulatory frameworks. Existing system hardening was inconsistent, relying on manually executed scripts across Windows desktops, often applied unevenly.
This led to security gaps, a lack of auditability and configuration drift. The internal IT team, already stretched thin, struggled to keep pace with frequent OS and patch updates while managing a growing number of endpoints across multiple network zones.
Policy-driven device setup
With XOAP, you can apply security policies automatically to all devices, keeping configurations consistent, secure and easy to manage.
Stronger security, less work
Industry: Water Infrastructure
XOAP’s Configuration Management module replaced the manual and patchy system hardening approach with a central, automated solution. Instead of using inconsistent scripts, a clear and standard setup based on trusted guidelines like CIS Benchmarks, STIGs and Windows LAPS was created and applied automatically across all Windows devices.
It uses PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) to watch over the settings and fix any changes quietly in the background. Because it fits smoothly with Microsoft SCCM, the team didn’t have to change their current deployment tools, which made the rollout faster and lowered the chance of mistakes.
This switch made sure every device followed the rules all the time and removed the need for manual work. The IT team was able to spend less time on routine tasks and have better visibility and control. At the same time, the system made it easier to handle more devices securely and prepares the way for adding new features like software updates and patching.
