Case study
A regional utility partnered with Adversis to validate network segmentation, assess infrastructure security, and satisfy NERC compliance requirements, emerging with a clear prioritization framework and resources secured for ongoing improvements.
- Challenge
- The utility's cybersecurity team had completed significant security upgrades and needed independent validation that their controls held up under real-world testing. With NERC guidance requiring regular penetration testing and member data protection at stake, they needed more than a checkbox assessment.
- Solution
- Adversis worked alongside the internal team to prioritize network segments for assessment and tailor coverage to their specific validation needs. Using advanced techniques drawn from Fortune 500 offensive security experience, the engagement went beyond standard kill-chain methodology to evaluate realistic attack scenarios against the utility's infrastructure.
- Result
- 100%NERC compliance requirements satisfied, with validated controls and a strategic roadmap that helped the team secure additional resources for training and continued security investment.
