Case Study: Middle River Power achieves autonomous OT threat detection and faster incident response with Darktrace / OT

Middle River Power saves 94 investigation hours in 19 days with Darktrace

Middle River Power, a company operating 34 power plants across the United States, faced a significant challenge in gaining visibility and security across its remote operational technology (OT) environments. After a major pipeline attack served as a wake-up call, they needed a solution that could be deployed seamlessly across all facilities without disruption. They selected Darktrace and its Darktrace/OT product for its AI-powered, automated threat detection and its ability to operate without a cloud connection to meet strict compliance regulations.

The implementation of Darktrace/OT was rapid, with deployments taking as little as 10 minutes per plant. The solution provided full visibility, autonomously investigated threats, and saved the team 94 investigation hours in a 19-day period. This automation significantly reduced operational costs and even led to lower insurance premiums. Darktrace also uncovered unexpected external issues, like a misconfigured ISP, which improved overall network performance for Middle River Power.
