Advancing Cyber Defence
for the Energy Sector
From the lights in our hospitals to the heat in our homes, energy infrastructure quietly powers every corner of our lives. When energy infrastructure is digitalized, it also becomes a growing target for cyber threats. A major national utility company with more than 40 distributed data centres was experiencing this reality. Cyber threats were not only increasing at a rapid pace but becoming more sophisticated, and while the utility had made substantial investments in perimeter defenses and had centralized its Security Operations Centre (SOC), the critical question had not been adequately addressed, are the controls in place working as originally intended? That’s when they brought in Orbit Techsol.

Client Background
A large enterprise operating in the energy and infrastructure sector was focused on strengthening its cybersecurity operations. Although there were solid IT security solutions in place at the company, there was no process in place for regularly checking the efficiency of those solutions. Because of the speed at which cyberattacks develop, their methods of compensating for that (periodic audits and penetration testing) did not function properly. They required a solution that would enable them to more effectively identify gaps in coverage, create accurate and real-time analysis of SOC operations and conduct compliance-related activities without disrupting normal day-to-day operations.
operations.
The Challenge
-
Standard audits didn’t accurately identify daily, current cyber threats.
-
Security solutions such as SIEMs, EDRs, and firewalls have not been consistently tested to determine their ability to protect against real-world attacks.
-
The team was unaware of how quickly and accurately the SOC could respond to real attacks.
-
Ongoing compliance with CERT-IN advisors and the DPDP Act required clear, demonstrable evidence.

The Result
Smarter Threat Visibility. Stronger Digital Protection.
By transitioning to an intelligence-based cyber defense, Orbit Techsol has managed its Business Analytics Services (BAS) in a more proactive and intelligent manner as well as validating its security controls on all levels of its system against real-world cyber attack scenarios. As a result, the enterprise has been able to enhance its resilience, increase the level of confidence it has in its existing security controls, and utilize that validated security for continuously improving its automated and analytical solutions moving forward.
