Professional Services & Managed Operations
Specialized cybersecurity services for high-voltage infrastructure.
Technology alone cannot defend complex physical assets. Battery Cyber delivers end-to-end engineering, advisory, and 24/7 managed operational services designed specifically for power engineers, asset owners, and OT security leaders.
Security Assessment
Rigorous, non-disruptive cyber-physical risk evaluation across architecture, protocols, and vendor trust chains.
Scope of Evaluation
Our senior OT security specialists conduct in-depth architectural and on-site reviews without disrupting live power generation or battery cycling. We inspect the real-world convergence of digital networks and electrical safety controls.
- Architecture & Trust Boundaries: Purdue model segmentation, firewalls, VLAN tagging, and industrial DMZ efficacy.
- Remote Access & Gateways: Cellular modems, OEM support tunnels, satellite backhauls, and VPN configurations.
- Industrial Protocol Security: Unauthenticated Modbus TCP, DNP3, IEC 61850, and CAN bus vulnerability analysis.
- Firmware & Hardware Integrity: Controller build hashes, default credentials, exposed JTAG/UART debugging ports.
- Operational Recovery: Cold-start procedures, backup integrity, and manual override feasibility during cyber failure.
Tangible Customer Deliverables
Every assessment produces engineering-grade documentation ready for executive leadership, insurers, and site operations:
Secure Commissioning (FAT / SAT)
Cybersecurity integrated into the capital project lifecycle. Validate security before the asset energizes and connects to the grid.
FAT (Factory Acceptance)
Auditing OEM battery container assemblies, inverter skid controllers, and switchgear PLCs at the factory floor before shipping. Ensuring factory default passwords are eliminated, firmware hashes match vendor baselines, and debug interfaces are permanently disabled.
SAT (Site Acceptance)
Validating site network cabling, managed switch configurations, firewall rulebases, and cellular gateway provisioning during field installation. Ensuring EPC contractors adhere to contractual cybersecurity specifications prior to energization.
Handover & Baselining
Establishing cryptographic golden baselines for all controller configurations, verifying remote access approval workflows, and generating clean operational handover documentation for the permanent asset owner.
Managed Security Operations
Continuous 24/7 operational cybersecurity monitoring delivered by industrial control system defense specialists.
24/7 OT Telemetry & Protocol Triage
Our Security Operations Center actively monitors passive site telemetry, industrial protocol flows, and gateway communication. Every alert is triaged by engineers who understand the difference between an inverter recalibration routine and an adversary manipulating Modbus coils.
• Zero false alarm fatigue • Protocol-aware triageReal-Time Configuration Drift Tracking
Continuous tracking of controller setpoints, PLC logic builds, and firewall access lists. Immediate escalation whenever an unauthorized change occurs outside scheduled maintenance windows.
• Baseline integrity • Instant change notificationVendor Session Governance & Supervision
Active supervision of third-party remote maintenance sessions. Our team validates work orders, facilitates just-in-time access approvals, and maintains forensic session records.
• Third-party accountability • Real-time session oversightQuarterly Threat & Architecture Reviews
Regular executive briefings evaluating emerging threat actor tactics against power infrastructure, newly disclosed ICS vulnerabilities, and recommendations for continuous defensive hardening.
• Strategic advisory • Executive governanceCyber Maintenance Program
Proactive lifecycle hygiene: firmware reviews, coordinated patching windows, and backup validation.
Firmware & Patch Governance
Evaluating OEM firmware updates in lab environments before production deployment. We schedule and supervise coordinated patch windows that align with grid dispatch outages.
Backup & Cold-Start Validation
Verifying that PLC logic backups, HMI project files, and inverter parameter tables are intact, stored off-site, and capable of restoring site operations during a ransomware event.
Certificate & Key Lifecycle
Managing cryptographic certificate lifecycles for edge gateways, internal VPN concentrators, and mTLS endpoints to prevent unplanned operational outages caused by expired certificates.
Incident Readiness & Response
Contain cyber incidents without unnecessarily disrupting power operations or tripping critical loads.
Power-Specific Tabletop Exercises
Scenario-based tabletop simulations testing C-suite, legal, OT engineering, and field operations on complex scenarios: ransomware in the EMS, rogue inverter firmware, or compromised OEM credentials.
Operational Containment Playbooks
Pre-approved incident playbooks designed to isolate compromised digital controllers while maintaining autonomous hardware protection, emergency cooling, and grid synchronization.
Emergency Retainer & Forensics
Guaranteed SLA response from senior industrial incident responders to preserve cryptographic evidence, perform memory forensics on embedded controllers, and safely guide system recovery.
