“Smart grid technologies will introduce millions of new components to the electric grid. Many of these components will be critical to interoperability and reliability, will communicate bi-directionally, and will be tasked with maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) vital to power systems operation.” [NIST IR 7628 section 2.2 Logical Security Architecture Overview]

Our Approach to Grid Cybersecurity

We specialize in delivering cyber risk management solutions and services specifically designed to bolster the security and resilience of cyber-physical systems within critical infrastructure. Our approach focuses on reducing vulnerabilities, minimizing potential consequences, and actively identifying and disrupting threats, ensuring rapid response and recovery.

Cybersecurity is not a one-time fix, but an ongoing process. We provide comprehensive support to organizations, addressing cyber risks associated with smart grids, substations, and related assets. We empower our clients with a near real-time view of their security posture, ensuring preparedness against evolving cyber threats.

Our approach relies on the following:

  • Proactive Cyber Risk Management: Solutions and services designed to reduce vulnerabilities, minimize consequences, and disrupt threats targeting critical infrastructure.
  • Substation-Centric Security: Focus on identifying, assessing, and mitigating cyber risks to these critical components of the electric grid.
  • Continuous Assessment and Monitoring: Emphasis on ongoing identification, assessment, and mitigation of cyber risks, providing organizations with real-time insights into their security levels.

Cyber Risks

Cyber Risks are a product of vulnerabilities, threats, frequency of adverse events and the consequences of adverse events. Consequences of adverse cyber events need to be identified through a systematic process of analyses. This includes enumeration and evaluation of various data flows in the context of interfaces and interactions of the systems and sub-systems down to the component level. Further, the solutions recommended should be context specific considering the high availability and integrity demands of electrical and communication networks. CII follows a well-defined set of activities, which are based on the NIST Interagency Report 7628 - Guidelines for Smart Grid Cybersecurity.
