OT/ICS SECTOR

Electric Utility SCADA & Substation Incident Response

When an EMS or SCADA environment is compromised, containment sequencing has regulatory consequences: NERC CIP-008 reporting attaches the moment an incident touches a medium or high impact BES cyber system.

The firms below have documented engagements in electric utilities, restoration of SCADA and EMS environments with reporting evidence intact, and field-device work down through the distribution layers of the Purdue model.

The buyer's pain: CIP-008 incident reporting with defined timelines, plus protection of transmission and generation infrastructure.
