Case Study: Large Energy Utility achieves secure Smart Grid connectivity with Tempered Airwall

Large Energy Utility establishes secure connectivity for critical infrastructure and new Smart Grid

A large energy utility was seeking a secure connectivity solution for remote substations and for industrial customers generating power for its smart grid. They needed to enable remote management and monitoring without increasing cost and complexity. The vendor, Tempered, provided its Airwall platform to address this challenge.

Tempered implemented its Airwall solution, deploying Conductors for orchestration, physical Airwall Gateways at remote sites, and an Airwall Relay for internet-based connections. This provided zero-trust network access, rendered devices invisible to attackers, and secured both private VPLS and public internet links. The utility achieved seamless secure connectivity for its critical infrastructure and smart grid expansion, with a solution that was faster to deploy and easier to manage at a fraction of the cost of traditional options, allowing for easy scaling as needs grew.
