Carousel Industries partnered with ORDR to address a critical challenge facing modern enterprises: the inability to see and manage every connected device on their network. Through ORDR's advanced asset inventory management platform, Carousel discovered numerous undocumented IoT and operational technology devices that posed significant security risks. This discovery revealed the true scope of their connected infrastructure and became the foundation for implementing effective security controls.
The partnership demonstrates how accurate asset inventory management serves as the cornerstone of any robust cybersecurity strategy. Without visibility into all connected assets—including IoT devices, industrial control systems, and medical devices—organizations cannot effectively identify vulnerabilities, assess risk, or respond to threats. ORDR's automated discovery capabilities enabled Carousel to create a comprehensive inventory that previously would have required months of manual effort.
By implementing ORDR's asset inventory management solution, Carousel Industries automated critical security workflows across their IT, IoT, IoMT, and OT environments. The platform provided real-time visibility into device configurations, network behavior, and potential security exposures. This automation reduced operational overhead while simultaneously improving the accuracy and timeliness of security assessments.
The case study highlights a common industry challenge: most organizations significantly underestimate the number of connected devices operating on their networks. Carousel's experience reveals how shadow IT and forgotten legacy systems create blind spots that attackers actively exploit. Comprehensive asset inventory management addresses this gap by providing the visibility needed to secure every endpoint.
Organizations implementing asset inventory management tools like ORDR gain the ability to enforce consistent security policies, streamline compliance reporting, and accelerate incident response times. The investment in discovering and cataloging all connected assets pays dividends across risk management, operational efficiency, and security posture improvements.
