Case Study: Enel improves power network reliability and cybersecurity with Nozomi Networks

Enel improved the reliability, efficiency and cyber security of its power generation plants and networks in Italy

Enel, a multinational energy company operating across 30 countries, needed to improve the reliability, efficiency, and cybersecurity of its power generation and control networks in Italy. The company was looking to replace manual, time-consuming ICS monitoring and troubleshooting with better visibility and deeper support for SCADA protocol IEC 60870-5-104. Nozomi Networks provided its Guardian platform to help secure and manage the industrial control environment.

Nozomi Networks implemented Guardian at Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers, along with a Central Management Console and portable P500 appliances for targeted investigations. The solution gave Enel centralized OT monitoring, automated event correlation, real-time alerts, and better insight into misconfigurations, anomalies, and attacks. As a result, Enel improved productivity, availability, and cyber resiliency while reducing troubleshooting and remediation effort.
