Utilidata expands cybersecurity offerings

PROVIDENCE – Utilidata Inc. has expanded its cybersecurity efforts through new product applications to ensure grid stability and security.

Utilidata, a global software company that works with electric utilities to enhance energy efficiency and grid security, said it is leveraging the potential of the company’s Signal Intelligence Engine through a new application to detect cyber-attacks on the grid.

The application, to be launched commercially later this year, is the first in a series of new product releases focusing on ensuring grid stability and security by identifying compromised circuits in real-time, deep within a utility’s physical infrastructure, the company announced in a news release.

“We believe that protecting the power delivery system is one of the greatest challenges facing our leaders today,” Scott DePasquale, chairman and CEO of Utilidata, said in a statement.

“At Utilidata, we are focused on unlocking the potential of our technology to provide real-time operational insights that can be leveraged to protect a power grid that is becoming more and more connected. Now that our platform development and core energy efficiency applications are mature and scaling in the market place, we are looking to aggressively recruit additional talent in cyber and industrial control systems security.”

Utilidata also is making structural changes and enhancements to its research and development organization to support the product expansion, such as a recruitment drive to attract top cybersecurity partners and talent in Rhode Island.
