Consumer packaged goods firm Church & Dwight picks Rockwell Automation to boost cybersecurity resilience

Rockwell Automation has been selected by Church & Dwight Co. to strengthen the consumer goods company’s cybersecurity programme.

The consumer packaged goods firm says that it chose Rockwell specifically to help build resiliency and minimise risks in its operational technology (OT) manufacturing security practices.

With several global consumer brands under its umbrella, Church & Dwight recognised the critical impact and importance of a strong OT security posture and enlisted Rockwell.

The goal was to gain a deeper understanding of its manufacturing risk profile by identifying critical assets, vulnerabilities and security gaps.

After examining and prioritising risk, Rockwell collaborated with Church & Dwight to develop a remediation roadmap, new security policies, and other measures to minimise risks. 

“We selected Rockwell Automation because we were looking for a new partner to help us uplevel our OT and manufacturing security posture. We knew we needed the best of the best who understood our vision,” says David Ortiz, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Church & Dwight.

“Throughout our work with Rockwell Automation on our OT cybersecurity programme, we’ve gained a thorough understanding of our cybersecurity landscape and the tools needed.”

“We firmly believe in helping organisations recognise the importance of OT cybersecurity,” says Mark Cristiano, Global Commercial Director at Rockwell.

"Over the course of our partnership with Church & Dwight, we have implemented new security controls and processes and have already seen a dramatic shift in the company's OT practices.”

“We are proud to leverage our best-in-class partnerships to help Church & Dwight achieve its cybersecurity goals.”
