Cybersecurity

As digital threats evolve, securing Operational Technology (OT) systems — the control systems and infrastructure, such as SCADA, ADMS, EMS, and industrial controls, that keep power and water flowing — is critical to safe, reliable utility operations. OT environments have their own operational realities, procedural requirements, and compliance standards, and effectively securing them requires specialized expertise many Information Technology (IT) teams lack.

DGR Engineering has partnered with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), a recognized leader in the utility and cybersecurity industries, to design vendor-neutral cybersecurity solutions tailored to our clients’ OT systems. Our accredited cybersecurity engineers bring the utility-specific, hands-on OT expertise needed to close that gap.

• Comprehensive OT cybersecurity assessments, including maturity metrics, architecture review, network vulnerability analysis, and external risk exposure
• Customized vendor-neutral cyber defense solutions, including turnkey options, compatible with existing and new equipment
• Secure networking design, including OT/IT segregation and secure remote access
• OT policy development, including incident response, disaster recovery, information protection, physical security, remote access, security awareness policies, and more
• Ongoing system management, including baseline monitoring, event log management, and audit support
• Security awareness training to build a security-conscious culture

Protecting these systems is more than a technology investment — it’s a commitment to the safety, reliability, and resilience of the communities we serve.
