FAQs
Common questions about electric sector cybersecurity and our solutions.

Electric sector cybersecurity protects power generation, grid operations, transmission, and distribution systems from cyber threats that could disrupt electricity supply or damage critical infrastructure.

Extended operational technology (xOT) systems control critical power infrastructure. Cyber attacks on xOT networks can cause power outages, equipment damage, and threats to public safety.

Successful cyber attacks can shut down power plants, trip transmission lines, cause cascading blackouts, and damage expensive equipment, resulting in billions in economic losses.

NERC CIP standards mandate cybersecurity controls for bulk electric system operators, including asset identification, security controls, incident reporting, and personnel training.

Our platform provides comprehensive visibility, threat detection, device remediation, and incident response capabilities specifically designed for electric xOT environments, helping utilities detect and respond to threats quickly.
