Field site networks for energy and utilities
Connect substations, pump stations, and field sites with resilient links, segmented operational networks, and controlled remote access.
Energy and utility operators run equipment across wide areas, from substations and pump stations to well pads and solar sites. Those sites need connectivity for monitoring and control, and staff and vendors need remote access, but every connection is also a path an attacker could use.
We design field networks with resilient links, separate operational technology from business systems, and provide remote access that is limited, authenticated, and logged. Every change is authorized and coordinated with operations and equipment vendors.
Things to keep in mind
- Coordinate every change with operations to avoid disrupting control systems.
- Some operators fall under sector-specific security standards. Align the design with them.
- Keep an inventory of devices, firmware, and connections.
How it works
Survey sites
Map field locations, existing links, devices, and access needs.
Design the architecture
Plan links, redundancy, and zones that separate operational and business traffic.
Control access
Implement authenticated, logged remote access for staff and vendors.
Implement in stages
Make changes in coordinated windows with rollback plans.
Frequently asked questions
Do you replace control systems?
No. We work on the networks and access around them, coordinated with your operations team and vendors.
Can field staff connect securely from trucks?
Yes, through authenticated remote access limited to the systems each person needs.
