Use Case: Ensure safe, continuous and efficient operations at important power generation site
Industry Context:
Eastern European energy providers face a perfect storm of geopolitical tensions, limited resources, a skill gap, and supply chain risks, exacerbating their cybersecurity challenges.
Client Challenge:
While the industry has seen rapid advancements in cybersecurity platforms for business applications, operational technology (OT) systems, often based on decades-old legacy infrastructure, remain vulnerable to cyberattacks and malicious software. Still, these systems are critical to the operations of power utilities, and any disruption can lead to downtime, power outages, and damage to industrial installations.
Our Approach:
To ensure safe, continuous and efficient operations at the power generation site, Waterfall Unidirectional Gateways were installed at the IT/OT interface. The gateways replicate OPC-DA servers and industrial databases from OT to IT networks to enable safe vendor monitoring of turbines and generators, and to provide safe visibility into operations for utility business applications and regulatory monitoring centers.
Results:
Waterfall’s acclaimed unidirectional gateway technology provides our power customer with the unique benefit of absolute protection from remote cyber-attacks, while continuing to profit from enterprise-wide visibility into operations networks.
