Problem
The increasing complexity of power grids, driven by distributed energy resources (DERs) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), introduces new cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Traditional security measures often lack the real-time visibility and advanced analytics needed to detect and respond to sophisticated threats targeting operational technology (OT) assets in power distribution networks. This leaves energy companies susceptible to cyberattacks that can disrupt operations, compromise data integrity, and impact grid reliability.
Solution
Utiltyx offers GRID EYE, a cybersecurity platform designed to secure the energy data mesh and ensure a safe, reliable, and resilient transformation of the power grid. The platform provides comprehensive visibility at the grid edge, continuously monitoring for cybersecurity threats and delivering AI-powered analytics. GRID EYE helps energy companies gain real-time situational awareness of their OT assets, detect anomalies and malware, and automate incident response. By integrating seamlessly with existing management systems, GRID EYE enables proactive threat monitoring, detection, and prevention, ensuring the integrity and security of the electric grid.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes power utilities, distribution system operators (DSOs), and energy companies seeking to enhance the cybersecurity posture of their smart grid infrastructure and distributed energy resources.
