Claroty empowers electric generation, transmission, and distribution companies with industrial cybersecurity controls built to protect their OT, IoT, IIoT, and BMS assets and all other cyber-physical systems (CPS) that underpin their OT environments.
Electric power generation, distribution, and transmission companies are embracing digital transformation due to the traction of clean energy initiatives, escalating demand, geopolitics, global fuel shortages, climate change, and other factors. As a result, new innovations are rapidly transforming electric utilities. From smart grid technologies that reduce costs and improve service availability, reliability, and sustainability, to remote monitoring and computerized maintenance management systems that optimize demand response while enhancing control and safety — the benefits of automation, connectivity, and CPS in electric utilities are undeniable.
But for many power authorities, these benefits are overshadowed by the escalating threat of — and exposure to — industrial cybersecurity incidents. This troublesome reality has already manifested in recent years as highly disruptive state-sponsored attacks against electric grids amid times of conflict, as targeted ransomware and other malware infections that compromise service availability, and even as unintentional errors that endanger the physical safety of maintenance personnel, among others. Mitigating these risks and, ultimately, gaining cyber and operational resilience requires all segments of the electric utilities industry to embrace a new approach that extends far beyond traditional, IT-oriented security solutions.
Securing the OT environments that underpin electric generation, transmission, and distribution operations and infrastructure requires following three key principles:
Asset visibility is foundational to industrial cybersecurity — which is why all segments of electric utilities must attain a complete, real-time inventory of all OT, IoT, and BMS assets and other CPS across power generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure. It’s also why Claroty is proud to deliver the unmatched visibility our electric utilities customers need to secure the OT environments on which their critical assets and operations rely.
Since most CPS in electric generation, transmission, and distribution rely on proprietary protocols and legacy systems, they are incompatible with IT-oriented solutions — but that doesn’t mean such solutions have no place in OT. Rather than require customers to expand their already-extensive tech stacks, Claroty integrates with them. As a result, our electric utilities customers can simply extend their existing tools and workflows from IT to OT.
Unlike their IT counterparts, most OT environments lack essential cybersecurity controls and consistent governance. Claroty eliminates this gap for our electric utilities customers. After providing visibility into all CPS and integrating your existing IT tools and workflows with OT, Claroty extends your existing IT controls to OT — unifying your security governance and driving all use cases on your journey to cyber and operational resilience.
The Claroty journey to cyber resilience empowers electric generation, transmission, and distribution companies to extend — and further optimize — the following cybersecurity use cases and governance areas from IT to OT:
Claroty’s automated asset discovery capabilities create a centralized inventory that serves as the foundation for all cyber resilience use cases, equipping power authorities with real-time visibility into all OT, IoT, and BMS assets and all other CPS across your OT environment.
Claroty extends your IT vulnerability management controls to OT by detecting, assessing, and recommending remedial actions for CPS vulnerabilities across electric generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure, enabling you to prioritize and deploy mitigations to minimize risk.
Claroty hardens OT environments in all electric utilities segments against threats by defining network segmentation policies to be easily enforced by your firewall and NAC solutions, as well as providing secure remote access purpose-built with controls for internal and third-party OT users.
Claroty enables power authorities to continuously monitor for and respond to the earliest indicators of threats — ranging from APTs, to equipment failures, to rogue insiders — before they impact service availability or reliability, safety, regulatory compliance, or other critical assets.
The Claroty journey to operational resilience equips electric power authorities to extend and optimize the following security and operational use cases and governance areas from IT to OT:
Operational resilience starts with full visibility into all CPS in your OT environment. Claroty’s automated asset discovery capabilities deliver just this — empowering electric utilities companies with the real-time visibility you need as the foundation for all operational resilience use cases.
Change management is essential to governance, compliance, maintenance, vendor management, and procurement decisions enterprise-wide. Claroty empowers MoC programs in IT and OT with continuous asset and operational monitoring and reporting to inform these and related decisions.
Claroty streamlines asset management for power authorities by harnessing in-depth asset insights and an enriched CMDB and CMMS via ready-made integrations to monitor for asset updates, enable SLA compliance, and optimize maintenance, demand supply, load balancing, and more.
Claroty Secure Remote Access (SRA) gives electric utilities companies the ability for plant staff, maintenance contractors, and third-party vendors to remotely access your OT environment securely, compliantly, and only as needed, when authorized, and while being monitored in real-time.
Complying with industry standards and regulations is a complex, ever-evolving endeavor for companies in all segments of electric utilities. Claroty helps streamline audits and compliance not only with respect to cybersecurity but also in adjacent areas — from safety, to availability, to sustainability, and more. Highlights include:
Claroty’s support for the entire CPS security journey supports and simplifies power authorities' compliance with the requirements set forth by: NERC-CIP, FERC, EPA, NIS 2.0, RCE, AESCSF, SOCI/SLACIP, and many more.
