Connected network protection, threat detection and IoT security built around operational continuity.

A Winnipeg-based logistics company needed to protect the technology supporting dispatch, warehouse coordination and day-to-day business operations.
Its security requirements extended beyond employee computers. Connected operational devices introduced additional monitoring and access-control needs, including devices that could not support traditional endpoint security agents.
The organization required dependable connectivity, stronger control over network communications and a coordinated way to investigate threats. These capabilities had to account for operational dependencies, where an unnecessary restriction or device isolation could interrupt essential work.
GBTECH delivered a layered solution combining secure connectivity, network protection, extended threat detection and connected-device security.
Next-generation firewalls applied application-aware policies, intrusion prevention and threat filtering to business traffic. Network segmentation separated corporate systems, operational devices and guest access, restricting communication to required services.
SD-WAN policies supported operational applications through encrypted connectivity and application-aware path selection. Link-health monitoring informed routing decisions, with failover available where alternate connections were provisioned.
This approach aligned connectivity policies with the applications and services used by operational teams.
XDR brought together supported endpoint and security telemetry to correlate suspicious events and provide investigation context. This helped the monitoring team assess related activity across integrated systems.
Response procedures defined appropriate containment actions, including when endpoint isolation was suitable and when operational coordination was needed.
Device discovery and profiling improved visibility into connected operational assets and their communication patterns. Network policies limited these devices to the services they required, while monitoring helped identify unexpected behaviour or unauthorized destinations.
For devices unable to run endpoint agents, network visibility and segmentation provided additional protective controls.
GBTECH’s monitoring team continuously monitored the environment using machine learning–based tools alongside security telemetry and operational context.
The team investigated unusual activity and used its findings to refine detection rules, network policies and response measures. This adaptive approach accounted for changes in device behaviour, application usage and emerging threats.
Security adjustments were assessed against dispatch and warehouse dependencies to support proportionate responses.
The engagement began with a review of network infrastructure, critical applications and connected devices. Communication patterns were assessed before restrictive policies were introduced.
Validation covered operational application access, network segmentation, supported XDR integrations and WAN failover where available. Documentation established escalation paths and response responsibilities.
The solution created a coordinated foundation for protecting business systems and connected operational devices. XDR and IoT visibility supported more informed investigations, while segmentation controlled potential paths between different parts of the environment.
Continuous monitoring and policy refinement enabled the security approach to evolve alongside operational needs.
Protecting the systems and connected devices that keep logistics moving.
GBTECH can help you assess your environment and plan a practical path forward.
