Electrical grids are becoming more connected every year as power generation is distributed and interconnections between systems proliferate. Yet grids are filled with legacy edge devices that were not designed for connected systems, while new devices typically do not contain sufficient protections against attacks that can cause physical damage or disrupt power flow for millions of customers. Despite many years of good efforts to improve the situation, our grids remain in an insecure state.
Red Balloon Security has worked with device manufacturers, electrical utilities and the US government to enable a higher standard of grid security and responsiveness without impacting operations or imposing unrealistic costs. Our solutions are mapped to the NERC-CIP Reliability Standards to help manufacturers and end users stay compliant while mitigating the risk of cyber attack.
By bringing security to the device level, we enable manufacturers and grid operators to develop more robust protections for energy delivery systems — and protect our most essential resource from current and future attack threats.
// PROTECTION AT THE EMBEDDED DEVICE LAYER
Proven on multiple devices from Schneider Electric, Siemens, and SEL during DARPA’s RADICS program, our Symbiote solution enhances grid device security without disrupting device operation.
Red Balloon Security’s embedded device security can be added to any operating system or hardware protecting the device from the boot loader to the application including third-party libraries.
Embedded device security can be added directly to end devices, bringing enhanced protections even to non-standard or out-of-support devices.
