Case Study: Genesis Energy secures OT environments against removable media threats with OPSWAT

Genesis Energy secures 650,000 connection points with OPSWAT

Genesis Energy, New Zealand's largest energy retailer and generator, faced the challenge of securing its critical operational technology (OT) environments against cyber threats from removable media and transient devices. To protect its national energy infrastructure, the company turned to cybersecurity vendor OPSWAT for a solution involving their MetaDefender Kiosk and MetaDefender Drive products.

OPSWAT's implementation provided Genesis Energy with full control over these critical entry points. The solutions sanitized removable media and scanned transient devices, closing security gaps and preventing malware from entering their systems. This proactive measure fortified their cyber defenses, increased employee confidence in safely transferring files, and supported the company's mission to deliver safe, reliable energy across New Zealand.
