Cybersecurity & Reliability for Electric Utilities

Electric utilities may have hundreds or even thousands of substations that are critical for operating an efficient, adaptable smart grid. They must each communicate with control centers to ensure high reliability and availability of power. Without the ability to monitor diverse network protocols between control systems and field devices, cybersecurity and operations teams are left with major blind spots and exposure to risk.

The Nozomi Networks platform is purpose-built to protect OT and IoT assets in power generation, transmission and distribution networks from cyber and operational risk.

It combines visibility from the endpoint to the air with continuous monitoring and AI-powered analysis to help you increase resilience while meeting government regulations like NERC CIP and the NIS2 Directive.

Benefits of Our Cybersecurity Solution for Electric Utilities

Automate asset inventory to identify and manage every asset across all substations, power generation and transmission and distribution networks.
