Case Study: one of Europe’s largest energy network operators secures grid data with Intertrust XPN

One of Europe’s Largest Energy Network Operators detects spoofed devices in real time with Intertrust

A major European energy network operator faced significant cybersecurity challenges with its multi-vendor grid infrastructure. Traditional perimeter security was insufficient, leaving grid data and commands vulnerable to spoofing and data poisoning, especially with the rapid expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs). To address this, they partnered with Intertrust and implemented its Intertrust XPN solution.

Intertrust provided a cryptographic trust overlay that verified every command, signal, and device without requiring the replacement of any existing systems. This solution enabled the operator to detect spoofed devices and tampered data in real time and securely onboard new devices with verified authenticity. As a result of working with Intertrust, the company's grid achieved a zero-trust security posture and now supports AI-ready operations.
