Unified IT/OT Protection for Energy Distribution
Monitor critical systems and meet regulations
The convergence of IT and OT environments brings new security challenges, especially in energy distribution, where networks span hundreds or thousands of remote substations. Having only limited visibility into these locations makes real-time monitoring difficult. At the same time, insecure protocols and remote access expand the attack surface, while guaranteeing an uninterrupted energy supply remains critical.
To stay in control of complex infrastructures, energy providers must detect unexpected changes in network behavior and ensure compliance with standards and regulations, without overloading bandwidth or disrupting critical systems. In addition, the solution must understand the protocols used across energy networks, providing clear visibility into all communication from substations to control centers.
Mendel addresses your challenges:
- Detect anomalies and threats across connected IT and OT systems
- Ensure continuous operations with network and system monitoring
- Achieve compliance with IEC 62443, NIS2, and other regulations
- Track infrastructure changes, including configuration and access modifications
- Monitor a growing number of smart meters with flexible scalability
A Single Solution for IT & OT Security and Reliability
Monitor both IT and OT environments in one place. Use GREYCORTEX Mendel to oversee your entire infrastructure, improve security, and support uninterrupted energy delivery.
Operational continuity without interruptions
Detect network and system outages early, explore communication between devices and network segments, and quickly identify root causes to prevent disruptions from escalating.
Compliance support for IEC 62443 and NIS2
Ensure adherence to industry standards and national or international regulations through real-time monitoring, risk detection, and identification of any critical assets.
Anomaly and threat detection in IT and OT
Identify anomalies and advanced threats across IT and OT systems, including vulnerability exploits (CVEs) and unauthorized control commands, with visibility into communication using standard OT protocols.
Change management
Detect changes in your infrastructure, from configuration edits to asset replacements, and ensure awareness of what’s happening across substations and remote locations.
