Nozomi Networks and DER Security Corp (DERSec) announced that they have integrated technologies to address cyber-physical threats to distributed energy resources, including battery energy systems, solar energy equipment, electric vehicle chargers, and microgrid controllers.
“As power grids worldwide shift to renewable and distributed energy, distributed assets have become prime targets for sophisticated threat actors. Traditional network monitoring can’t detect stealthy attacks that manipulate control signals or measurement telemetry,” stated Thomas Tansy, CEO of DERSec. “By integrating Nozomi Networks’ visibility and detection technology with DERSec’s physics-informed analytics, we are providing SOC teams with an energy-aware security layer to protect critical infrastructure.”
Nozomi Networks is valued for superior operational visibility, advanced OT and IoT threat detection and strength across deployments. Nozomi Networks solutions support more than 115 million devices in thousands of installations across energy, manufacturing, mining, transportation, utilities, building automation, smart cities and critical infrastructure. Nozomi Networks products are deployable on-site, across wireless networks, and in the cloud, and span IT, OT, and IoT to automate the hard work of inventorying, visualizing, and monitoring industrial control networks through the innovative use of artificial intelligence. Use cases stretch beyond cybersecurity, and include troubleshooting, asset management and predictive maintenance.
DER Security delivers unparalleled real-time detection of attacks targeting energy infrastructure by validating physical process variables within network traffic. Its DERSec Sentry technology performs deep packet analysis on native DER protocols, including SunSpec Modbus, DNP3, IEEE 2030.5, and OCPP, to identify dangerous commands, falsified telemetry, malicious firmware changes, and insider threats.
The company also provides deep power-aware intelligence and digital twins to distinguish between physical faults and cyberattacks, dramatically accelerating recovery times for AI data centers, microgrids, eMobility fleets, and utility-scale DERs.
“Protecting the world’s critical infrastructure is strengthened by deep integration with specialized domain expertise and enterprise-scale security platforms,” said Matthew Cowell, vice president of strategic alliances at Nozomi Networks. “DERSec’s ability to translate complex electrical behavior into actionable security metrics perfectly complements Nozomi Networks’ visibility and threat detection capabilities. This joint solution helps operators eliminate blind spots in decentralized energy environments and ensures customers can maximize operational resilience against evolving threats.”
