OT Security for
Energy & Utilities
Power generation, transmission, and distribution networks face escalating cyber threats. NETRUDER provides continuous monitoring across substations, SCADA systems, and distributed energy resources without impacting grid reliability.
Security Challenges in Energy & Utilities
Understanding the unique threat landscape and operational constraints of the sector
Legacy Infrastructure
Aging SCADA systems and RTUs with minimal built-in security create blind spots across transmission and distribution networks.
Regulatory Pressure
NERC CIP, NIS2, and EPDK mandates require continuous monitoring, audit trails, and evidence of compliance posture.
Distributed Assets
Substations, wind farms, and solar installations spread across wide geographies complicate centralized security operations.
Nation-State Threats
Energy infrastructure is a primary target for advanced persistent threats and state-sponsored cyber operations.
How NETRUDER Protects Energy & Utilities
Purpose-built detection and monitoring capabilities for this sector
Substation Monitoring
Deep visibility into IEC 61850 GOOSE/MMS traffic, DNP3, and IEC 104 communications between protection relays and RTUs. Passive fingerprinting identifies every device down to firmware version.
DER Security
Monitor distributed energy resources including solar inverters, battery management systems, and wind turbine controllers. CVE correlation flags vulnerable DER assets with grid-impact context.
Grid Anomaly Detection
AI models trained on power system behavioral patterns detect unauthorized parameter changes and abnormal command sequences with sub-millisecond alert generation.
NERC CIP Compliance Workflow
Automated evidence package generation including BES Cyber Asset inventory (CIP-002), ESP monitoring logs (CIP-005), system security management evidence (CIP-007), and incident response documentation (CIP-008).
Supported Protocols
Compliance Coverage
National Grid Operator
A major European transmission system operator deployed NETRUDER across 150+ substations over an 8-week phased rollout to meet NIS2 requirements and gain real-time visibility into OT network traffic. Passive fingerprinting identified 14 previously unknown devices in the first 48 hours of monitoring.
92% reduction in compliance audit preparation time — from 3 weeks to 2 days per substation
Full IEC 104 and GOOSE traffic visibility across all 150+ substations with firmware-level asset inventory
Detected 14 previously unknown unauthorized devices including 3 unmanaged serial-IP converters
Achieved NIS2 compliance certification within 6 months with automated evidence packages
CVE correlation identified 47 vulnerable firmware versions across the fleet, prioritized by grid impact

Manufacturing
Modern manufacturing environments blend IT and OT systems in ways that expand the attack surface. NETRUDER monitors production networks without adding latency or disrupting automated processes.
Water & Wastewater
Water treatment and distribution systems are essential to public health. NETRUDER monitors SCADA networks controlling chemical dosing, pump stations, and distribution systems to prevent tampering and detect anomalies.
Transportation & Logistics
Rail systems, ports, airports, and logistics hubs depend on OT networks for safe operations. NETRUDER provides visibility into signaling systems, traffic management, and cargo handling infrastructure.
