Critical Infrastructure Security for Power Generation and Utilities
Protect generation plants, transmission and distribution networks, and control centers with hardware‑enforced data diodes that deliver uncompromising critical infrastructure security while safely sharing OT data with IT, SIEM, and cloud systems.
Get Started with Stronger Grid and Substation Security
Protect the Grid Without Sacrificing Access
Utilities today must deliver more than power—they need resilience, visibility, and compliance in a threat‑heavy, data‑driven grid. From ransomware targeting control centers to evolving NERC CIP and TSA mandates, the stakes for power generation and substation cyber security have never been higher
Owl Talon changes that.
Software‑based firewalls and legacy segmentation tools struggle to stop modern attacks or lateral movement, yet fully isolating OT networks cuts operators off from the real‑time data they need. Owl Talon™ changes that. As a hardware‑enforced, one‑way protocol filtering diode, it lets utilities securely share SCADA, historian, and event data with IT, cloud, and analytics platforms—without exposing grid and substation control systems to inbound threats—strengthening critical infrastructure security while supporting modernization and compliance
Secure Data Sharing—Without Risk to OT Networks
Owl Talon allows utilities to share operational data—like SCADA outputs, alarms, and historian feeds—with IT, cloud, and analytics platforms, all without exposing critical control systems to inbound threats.
At the heart of Talon is a one-way, hardware-enforced architecture: data can flow out of the OT network, but nothing can come back in. This physical barrier eliminates the risk of malware, remote tampering, and data leakage—creating a secure foundation for visibility, compliance, and modern grid operations.
It’s why Owl Talon is trusted to protect both utilities and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Meeting Regulatory Compliance
Power organizations are held to a higher standard when it comes to the cybersecurity technologies they deploy compared to other critical infrastructure industries, resulting in the need to deploy solutions that adhere to compliance requirements and provide the highest level of security possible to prevent power delivery outages. Regulatory compliance standards that impact the power industry are NRC, NERC-CIP, and NIST. Owl data diodes map to these regulatory controls and are recommended as a best practice for securing OT networks, while enabling data mobility.
