Security Solutions for Critical Utility Infrastructure
The reliability of our nation's utility infrastructure is paramount. With a documented rise in physical threats against remote and critical assets, maintaining operational uptime and ensuring NERC CIP compliance is more challenging than ever. We provide comprehensive security consulting for the utilities sector, designing layered defense strategies that protect your critical infrastructure, from generation plants to remote transmission substations.
A Layered Approach to Infrastructure Protection
Effective security for utility assets goes beyond a simple fence line. We implement a "Defense-in-Depth" philosophy that integrates physical, technological, and operational controls to deter, detect, delay, and respond to threats. Our goal is to create a resilient and compliant security posture that safeguards against unauthorized access, vandalism, and sophisticated attacks.
Core Security Services for the Utilities Sector
We design and implement robust security measures focused on the unique vulnerabilities of utility providers.
Advanced Perimeter Security & Intrusion Detection
Your perimeter is the first and most critical line of defense. We design and integrate advanced Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) that utilize technologies like fiber optic fence sensors, microwave barriers, and thermal cameras. These systems are engineered to minimize false alarms while providing immediate, actionable alerts of a breach at your most remote locations.
Proactive Early Detection & Assessment Solutions
Detecting a threat early is key to a successful response. Our solutions focus on identifying potential intruders before they reach critical assets. By layering video analytics, radar, and other sensor technologies, we provide your security operations center with the crucial intelligence needed to assess a threat in real-time and dispatch a response with confidence.
Physical Target Hardening
For your most critical assets, a robust physical defense is essential. We conduct detailed vulnerability assessments to recommend specific target hardening measures. This can include reinforcing control houses, installing ballistic barriers, upgrading locking mechanisms, and implementing advanced access control systems to delay and repel a physical attack.
