Energy, Power Grids & Utility Critical Infrastructure Security
Electronic Security Perimeter (ESP) isolation, SCADA protocol inspection (Modbus, DNP3), and fail-safe hardware clustering for power grids.
Sector Threat Profile & Operational Vulnerabilities
- •Defending complex distributed networks against targeted ransomware and zero-day exploits in Energy & Utilities.
- •Maintaining strict compliance mandates (NERC CIP, NIST 800-53) without creating IT administrative bottlenecks.
- •Isolating unmanaged IoT/OT equipment and third-party vendors from mission-critical core databases.
Recommended Network Security Architecture
