Case Study: a regional ISO achieves NERC cyber security compliance with Lantronix LM80 and Control Center

Regional ISO secures 70+ sites with Lantronix

A regional energy company, an ISO, faced the challenge of meeting stringent NERC cyber security compliance requirements for its network connecting over 70 energy companies. They needed to centralize management, control user access, and secure the entire network environment, which was previously managed through a mix of in-band and out-of-band connections. To address this, they turned to Lantronix for a solution involving the LM80 console servers and Control Center software.

Lantronix implemented its LM80 console servers managed by the Lantronix Control Center, providing centralized, out-of-band management for the distributed network. This solution gave the ISO automated control over network devices, secure access, and comprehensive auditing capabilities. As a result, the Lantronix solution achieved out-of-the-box compliance with NERC standards, elevated the security of the network, and reduced the cost and complexity of network management while ensuring the reliability of the regional power grid.
