Sector
A leading energy supply company commissioned us to carry out a security audit and harden its IoT-based infrastructure. In view of growing networking in the energy sector - for example through smart metering systems, remote maintenance access and automated network nodes - there was an increased risk of external attacks.
The project focused on separating sensitive operational technology (OT) from IT systems, analyzing potential vulnerabilities and introducing a risk-oriented security concept. Our measures were based on the requirements of the NIS2 directive and aimed to ensure end-to-end monitoring and defense against attacks on operational systems.
Core aspects of the project work:
- OT/IT risk assessment and segmentation strategy
- Penetration tests on networked IoT components
- Introduction of an OT security gateway
- Development of an incident response process for energy infrastructure
Proteo Defence is a European cybersecurity startup and technology joint venture that helps companies to arm themselves effectively against digital threats.
We develop, support and implement cyber strategies that not only withstand today's risks, but are also prepared for tomorrow. Our claim: security with substance - practical, implementable and individual.
