Technology and innovation continue to transform their power distribution system into a smart grid built on a platform of software-centric services. Coincidently, so does the complexity of cyberattack sources and mechanisms, dramatically increasing the risk to the security of operations and grid infrastructure. To mitigate these cybersecurity risks, the company follows the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the CIS Controls and the ISO/IEC 27001 Security Standards.
The company implemented the Industrial Defender (ID) platform to meet their needs for OT cyber resilience and alignment with best practice frameworks. The ID platform captures data from multiple sources, including endpoint devices (servers, workstations, and network equipment) and the IT/OT network traffic in remote (field) locations. The data is then normalized to empower the security and engineering teams with events, alerts and reports that provide actionable intelligence, without data overload.
