Outcreating Global Cyber Resilience for a Fortune 100 Smart Buildings Leader

Our Client

The client is a Fortune 100 global leader in smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings operating across more than 500 facilities worldwide.

Its infrastructure spans large-scale manufacturing operations, global data centres, and distributed cloud environments, making it one of the most complex IT ecosystems in the sector.

As the organization accelerated digital transformation initiatives, it required a scalable and cyber-resilient data protection strategy capable of supporting global operations.

Market Context

Global manufacturing enterprises are modernizing data protection strategies to address increasing ransomware threats, distributed infrastructure complexity, and growing governance requirements. Legacy backup environments often operate through fragmented tools and siloed processes, limiting visibility, scalability, and recovery readiness.

As organizations expand across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, IT and security leaders require centralized resiliency models that improve operational consistency while enabling rapid recovery of critical business operations. This shift is accelerating adoption of unified, cyber-resilient backup platforms with centralized governance and intelligent threat detection.

Key Challenges

The client’s distributed infrastructure and legacy backup environment created significant operational and cyber resilience challenges across global IT and security teams:

• Infrastructure teams managed multiple fragmented backup tools across globally distributed facilities, creating inconsistent protection and operational silos.
• Global operations teams struggled to govern protection policies consistently across four data centres, 500+ facilities, and multi-cloud environments.
• Business continuity and recovery teams required Minimum Viable Company (MVC) recovery capabilities to rapidly restore core operations following cyber incidents.
• Security and governance teams needed multi-tenant segregation with granular access controls to support regional compliance and business unit boundaries.
• Operations teams lacked centralized monitoring and reporting capabilities, limiting proactive issue resolution and compliance visibility.
• Cybersecurity teams required SIEM integration for advanced threat detection, correlation, and proactive ransomware alerting across the backup estate.

LTM's Solution

LTM delivered and managed a multi-year Backup Modernization Program to transform the client’s global data protection ecosystem using Rubrik’s modern resiliency platform.

• Replaced fragmented legacy backup environments with a unified Rubrik-powered protection architecture.
• Deployed Rubrik across primary data centers with phased rollout to remote manufacturing sites and global facilities.
• Extended centralized protection across Azure, AWS, and GCP cloud environments.
• Implemented a multi-tenant architecture enabling centralized governance with segregated reporting and granular RBAC controls.
• Integrated SIEM capabilities to support threat detection, ransomware alerting, and security event correlation.
• Established phased deployment governance using detailed high-level designs (HLDs) across global sites and cloud environments.
• Standardized operational processes, monitoring, and runbooks to improve consistency and scalability across regions.

This approach established a globally scalable, cyber-resilient protection fabric aligned to the organization’s digital transformation and security priorities.

Business Benefits

• Replaced fragmented legacy backup tooling with a unified global resiliency platform spanning more than 500 facilities.
• Strengthened enterprise cyber resilience through immutability, ransomware detection, and validated MVC recovery capabilities.
• Improved governance through centralized monitoring, multi-tenant reporting, and granular access management controls.
• Increased operational scalability through phased deployment models designed for future workloads, regions, and cloud expansion.
• Accelerated recovery readiness for critical business operations through structured MVC recovery frameworks.
• Reduced operational complexity through standardized runbooks, centralized processes, and globally aligned resiliency operations.

Conclusion

The transformation established a unified, cyber-resilient data protection foundation across the client’s globally distributed infrastructure. By replacing fragmented legacy backup environments with a centralized Rubrik-powered platform, the organization improved governance, recovery readiness, and operational scalability.

Ongoing efforts focus on expanding intelligent threat detection, enhancing recovery automation, and scaling resiliency operations across new facilities and cloud ecosystems. This foundation positions the organization to support long-term digital transformation with secure, globally governed data protection operations.
