Cybersecurity for Power & Energy Systems

Protecting substations, control centers, renewables and charging networks from cyber threats.

Overview

Secure the grid as it becomes digital

Digital substations, remote-controlled feeders, distributed solar, battery storage and EV charging all bring the grid online, and with that comes cyber risk. A successful attack on power systems can interrupt supply to hospitals, airports and entire cities. Optimity Global secures power and energy systems with methods designed for operational technology.

We assess utility and industrial power networks, design secure architectures, harden devices, monitor control networks and prepare incident response, working within outage windows and safety rules.

Approach

How we deliver

  1. Inventory

    Identify assets, protocols and connections.

  2. Assess

    Consequence-driven risk assessment.

  3. Architect

    Zones, conduits and secure access.

  4. Harden

    Configure, patch and control changes.

  5. Monitor

    Detect, respond and recover.

Compliance

Standards and codes we work to

We align deliverables with the codes, standards and client specifications that apply to each scope. The references below are typical; final applicability is confirmed per project.
