Case Study: TEPCO Power Grid strengthens SCADA security with McAfee Professional Services

McAfee Professional Services provides advanced protection for a Japanese power company and its global customers and partners

TEPCO Power Grid, Inc., a Japanese power transmission and distribution operator and developer of next-generation SCADA systems, needed to strengthen security for both its internal operations and the power infrastructure it was building for customers and partners worldwide. As it moved to combine IT and OT in its control environment, the company faced growing cyber risk and the need to align security with international standards. McAfee Professional Services was brought in to help address these challenges.

McAfee Professional Services worked with TEPCO Power Grid, Inc. to conduct risk assessments, embed security measures into the design and deployment of next-generation SCADA, and support both technical and organizational reforms. The engagement led to comprehensive security practices aligned with international standards, the creation of a CISO role and CSIRT, and a company-wide roadmap for security improvement. McAfee’s support helped TEPCO standardize advanced security from executive planning to site operations, with strong positive feedback from users and managers.
