Energy Networks

Challenge

Securing organizational and process data across decentralized energy networks to address vulnerability issues between IT and OT networks.

Threat Actors

  • Nation-state actors
  • Cybercriminals
  • Hacktivists

Industrial Case for Data Security

Real-time, secure sharing of heavily automated and loosely protected processes and information across the energy sector.

Industry Requirement

Maintaining overall cybersecurity of the modern electric power grids along with effective segmentation between IT & OT environments.

AEC Data Diode Solution

  • Hardware separation to ensure secure data transfer across the energy network.
  • Easy integration into legacy energy systems and process software.
  • Separation of OT systems from IT networks

Technical Specifications

  • In-house developed product
  • Capability of integration with defense cyber-solutions.
  • Aluminium casing with rear panel functions as data input/output.
  • Front panel functions as power LEDs indicators.
  • Multiple protocols- SYSLOG, Raw UDP & TCP, FTP, SFTP, and SCP.
  • High transferring rate.

Benefits of AEC Data Diode for Energy Networks

  • Easy integration into existing legacy systems while also providing simultaneous high-speed data flows.
  • No bypass capabilities and complete impenetrability against data breaches to maintain day-to-day operational capabilities.
  • Business continuity and visibility into high priority data flows to sustain critical functions.
  • Segmented cybersecurity architecture for distributed collaboration with vendors, utility owners, and operators.
  • Indigenous cyber technology with local technical support and assistance to the energy sector.

Priority Matrix of Energy Systems

  • Maintain nation’s security and economic prosperity.
  • Safeguard against temporary disruptive effects to daily life.
  • Prevent loss of productivity and revenue.
  • Secure private data and utilization information.
