Power company on industry 4.0 journey

A power generation company aimed to advance its IT/OT convergence efforts through a comprehensive security review and tailored recommendations to enhance cyber resilience.

Challenges

The organization sought clarity on several critical areas:

Vulnerability assessment of internet-facing assets
IT-OT operations audit, including on-site physical assessment
Visibility into OT networks and risk assessment from an IT-OT perspective
Cybersecurity threat modelling tailored to industrial operations

The Solution

Our team conducted detailed site visits and interviews with both IT and OT stakeholders to gain a deep understanding of the infrastructure. We also facilitated a full-day cybersecurity threat modelling workshop to assess potential risks specific to industrial operations.

A comprehensive security audit report was delivered, covering:

VA/PT results with actionable insights
OT-specific findings with a clear risk score (scale of 5)
Identified automation asset anomalies requiring urgent fixes
Blind spots in the OT network and corresponding threat vectors
Current security posture analysis based on control coverage
Security scores assigned to each existing control
A mapped-out risk profile and a step-by-step remediation plan

Outcomes

The engagement resulted in a strategic security roadmap aligned with the company's Industry 4.0 readiness goals.

The roadmap clearly defined:

“Must-have” controls to meet critical compliance and risk standards
“Nice-to-have” controls to enhance long-term security maturity

As a result, the company is now better prepared for Industry 4.0 integration with improved visibility, risk awareness, and stronger security governance.
