Case Study: Hawaiian Electric Utility strengthens cybersecurity maturity with SEL Cyber Services

Hawaiian Electric Utility adopts 3 cybersecurity plans with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories

A Hawaiian electric utility faced significant cybersecurity challenges due to the increased connectivity of its operational technology networks and the growing sophistication of threats. To address these vulnerabilities, the utility engaged Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) and its Cyber Services to perform an initial assessment and develop a plan.

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories implemented a solution by first delivering an assessment with personalized findings and then collaborating to create a multiphase roadmap for maturing the utility's cybersecurity. The results included the prioritization of short-term investments and the adoption of key plans for incident response, disaster recovery, and continuity of operations. The utility also improved its cyber defenses and increased cross-functional team communication, establishing a strong foundation for evaluating its cybersecurity maturity over time.
