Case Study: University of Notre Dame achieves stronger microgrid cybersecurity and OT resilience with SEL Cyber Services

University of Notre Dame secures 3 buildings with SEL

The University of Notre Dame utilities team needed a secure network solution for its microgrid deployment to address a lack of visibility, centralized access management, and robust threat monitoring. Their existing infrastructure had undocumented blind spots and security risks, so they partnered with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) Cyber Services for a design and ongoing cybersecurity support.

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) implemented a secure operational technology software-defined networking (OT SDN) architecture and provided life cycle services, including continuous monitoring and the deployment of a Nozomi Networks platform for proactive threat detection. The results were a resilient, scalable cybersecurity framework that improved threat detection and visibility, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and cyber maturity for the university's campus operations.
