Energy & Critical InfrastructureIndustries

Protect the grid. Meet NERC CIP.
Keep it running.

Utilities and critical infrastructure run IT and OT networks that can’t fail. NIKSUN delivers IT/OT visibility for threat detection, NERC CIP compliance, and reliable operations.

What's at stake

OT was never built to be attacked.

🏭

IT/OT convergence

Connecting OT to IT exposes fragile industrial systems to IT-borne threats.

⚙️

Legacy ICS / SCADA

Industrial control systems run legacy protocols and can’t take agents or downtime.

🌐

Nation-state targeting

Grids and pipelines are prime targets for disruptive, state-sponsored attacks.

How NIKSUN helps

Passive visibility across IT and OT.

  • Passive, full-packet visibility across IT and OT — no agents, no disruption to control systems.
  • Behavioral and anomaly detection surfaces threats in OT traffic that signatures miss.
  • Back-in-time forensics reconstruct incidents across the IT/OT boundary.
  • Runs air-gapped and self-contained for the most sensitive environments.
What's at stake

NERC CIP doesn’t bend.

📋

NERC CIP controls

Utilities must implement and evidence CIP controls for electronic security perimeters and monitoring.

🗃️

Logging & retention

CIP requires logging security events and retaining them for audit.

🧭

Asset & boundary visibility

You must know every asset and monitor every electronic security perimeter.

How NIKSUN helps

Monitor the perimeter, keep the evidence.

  • Complete capture and monitoring of electronic security perimeters supports NERC CIP requirements.
  • LogWave centralizes and retains security events with configurable, long-horizon retention.
  • Passive asset discovery and traffic visibility map what’s actually on IT/OT networks.
  • RBAC and masking enforce least-privilege access to sensitive operational data.
NIKSUN provides the monitoring, evidence, and access controls that support your NERC CIP program — it complements your compliance process.
What's at stake

Reliability is non-negotiable.

Grid & SCADA reliability

Control traffic must be timely and reliable — latency or loss can mean real-world impact.

🔌

Distributed sites

Substations and remote sites are hard to monitor without on-site staff.

🛠️

IT/OT troubleshooting

Diagnosing issues across IT and OT boundaries is slow with siloed tools.

How NIKSUN helps

One record across IT and OT.

  • Lossless capture and link-to-application analysis localize delay and loss across IT/OT.
  • NetTrident enables remote packet capture at substations and unmanned sites — live, alarm-triggered, or on demand.
  • Active testing proactively verifies critical paths and services.
  • One platform spans IT and OT — the same record for performance and security.
Proof in the field · Energy & Critical Infrastructure

Man-in-the-middle, caught live at 100G.

At an energy provider running 100 Gbps, NetDetectorLive closed critical blind spots and stopped a man-in-the-middle attack in real time — in just a few clicks.
