Protect Your Grid

StationGuard Sensor continuously monitors your power plant and substation communication. It detects anomalies, cyber threats, and functional issues in real time. Based on deep knowledge of IEC 61850, -104, and 300+ other OT protocols, it understands normal system behavior without requiring a time-consuming learning phase. Engineers can visualize communication paths, trace events, and identify root causes quickly.

By combining intrusion detection with functional monitoring, StationGuard provides both security insights and operational transparency in one solution.

Benefits

Full Visibility for Secure Operation

StationGuard gives engineers full transparency into substation communication and system behavior. It not only detects cyber threats, but also reveals misconfigurations, communication errors, and device issues that would otherwise remain hidden. With its protocol-aware analysis and intuitive visualization, you can trace signals, understand interactions, and quickly identify root causes. The result is fewer false alarms, faster troubleshooting, and a clear understanding of your network – bridging the gap between engineering and cybersecurity.
  • Detect cyber threats and communication errors in real time 
  • Visualize OT communication and network behavior clearly 
  • Reduce false alarms with specification-based anomaly detection 
  • Identify misconfigurations, faults, and hidden system issues 
  • Trace events and signals for faster root cause analysis 
  • Combine security monitoring with functional system insights

Vulnerability Management

Managing (cyber) risks in OT environments requires a tailored approach that involves identifying, assessing, and managing threats while maintaining safe and reliable operations.
Intrusion Detection

Digitalized substations and remote grid operations increase cyber attack surfaces. Proper intrusion detection requires continuous monitoring of OT networks for early recognition of abnormal behavior.
Communication Network Analysis

Analyze network traffic, timing, and redundancy. Troubleshoot sporadic issues to secure your PAC system’s performance and availability.
Functional Monitoring

Functional monitoring provides visibility into automation networks during live operation, enabling you to detect malfunctions, communication irregularities, and unexpected configuration deviations early enough.
