Securing The Infrastructure That Powers Everything
Power generation, transmission and distribution support essential operations. Corvynt helps organizations assess cyber risks across connected grid environments.
POWER GRID INFRASTRUCTURE
Power grids support healthcare, industry, financial services and communications. Corvynt helps assess the cyber risks facing connected systems and operations.
Every Layer of The Grid. Fully Secure
From generation to distribution we secure every critical layer of power grid infrastructure protecting substations and energy management platforms.
Generation Facilities
Power generation environment depends on turbine control systems, distributed control systems, and [lant automation that are increasingly connected and exposed. We secure generation control systems, plant OT networks and automation platforms against intrusion and disruption. A cyber incident at the generation layer does not affect just one facility, it removes capacity from thr entire grid.
Transmission Networks
High voltage transmission infrastructure carries power across hundreds of miles through SCADA monitored, remotely operated systems that nation state adversaries actively target. We secure transmission SCADA, energy management systems, and remote terminal units across the full transmission network.
Substations
Substations are the most critical and most vulnerable nodes in the power grid controlling voltage, routing power, and protecting the transmission networks. A compromised substation can cascade failure across an entire region . We secure substation automation systems, protecting relays and RTU communications.
Distribution Systems
Distribution networks delivers power to home, hospitals and business through increasingly digitized and connected infrastructure. Smarts distribution, distribution networks, and SCADA controlled switching systems create an expanding attacking surface. We secure distribution control systems, smart grid platforms, and field device communications across the entire environments.
Energy Management System
Energy management system provides real time visibility and control across the entire grid making them a private target for adversaries seeking maximum disruption. We secure EMS platforms, historian servers, and grid monitoring infrastructure against unauthorized access and manipulation.
Renewable Energy Infrastructure
Solar farms, wind turbines and battery storage systems introduce new OT attack surface into the grid often with weaker security posture than traditional generation assets. We secure renewable energy control systems, inverter networks, and remote monitoring network platform, against exploitation.
The Grid Is a Primary Target For Nation State
Power infrastructure has moved from physical only risk to a complex digital threat environment.
Nation state adversaries have demonstrated the capability to penetrate transmission and distribution control systems triggering cascade failures that plunge entire regions into darkness. Ukraine power grid was successfully attacked twice and people got stucked.
Substations are high value targets, a single compromised substation can cascade failures across an entire regional grid. Attackers exploit weak authentication, patched firmware, and remote access pathways to gain persistent access to substation automation systems.
EMS platforms provide full visibility and control over grid operations making them the highest value target for adversaries seeking maximum disruption. A compromised EMS gives an attacker the ability to manipulate grid operations from a single point of access.
Grid operators rely heavily on remote access for monitoring and maintenance, creating persistent exposure through vendor connections, contractor access, and emote monitoring pathways that are difficult to monitor and control.
Security Engineered for Grid Operations
We do not apply generic cybersecurity to power grid environment. Every engagement is built around the operational reality of generation and distribution.
OT/ICS Security Assessment
We access your generation, transmission and distribution OT environments identifying vulnerabilities in SCADA systems, substation automation, and field devices before adversaries can exploit them.
Substation Security Architecture
We design and implement defensible security architectures for substation automation systems hardening protections relay, RTUs and communication networks against intrusion.
Incident Immediate Response
We develop grid specific incident response plans that account for OT environments ensuring your team can contain and recover from a cyber effect without cascading operational failures and setbacks.
