Energy utilities, TSOs and DSOs
RockSec supports utility organizations operating large-scale OT environments in addressing the challenges of limited visibility, complex system dependencies, and increasing cyber risk exposure. Where thousands of connected devices make comprehensive testing impractical, RockSec applies a risk-based, architecture-led approach to cybersecurity. This includes establishing full visibility through asset discovery and mapping of IT and SCADA environments, followed by targeted vulnerability assessments to identify critical assets and high-risk exposure points. By prioritizing devices and third-party vendors based on operational impact and threat likelihood, RockSec enables utilities to focus efforts on deep technical evaluations—covering software, firmware, hardware, and network interfaces—where risk is greatest. This approach allows organizations to transition from reactive to proactive security management, strengthen regulatory compliance, reduce the likelihood of service disruption, and build a resilient OT security program with continuous monitoring aligned to 24x7x365 operational requirements.
