Overview

A Scandinavian energy provider operating across Norway and Denmark needed stronger protection for critical infrastructure. Krish Services Group built a unified IT-OT SOC to monitor cyber threats across enterprise and industrial systems. The solution improved threat detection, response coordination, and regulatory readiness while supporting safe, reliable energy operations across borders.

Client Background

The client is a large energy utility managing power generation and transmission assets across Scandinavia. Its operations include grid systems, hydro assets, and industrial control environments. As cyber risks increased, especially against national infrastructure, the organization required a centralized security model that connected IT, OT, and compliance under one operational framework.

Challenges

• Advanced Threats to Industrial Systems: Legacy SCADA and OT environments lacked modern monitoring, increasing exposure to cyber intrusions targeting critical energy infrastructure.

• Disconnected IT and OT Monitoring: Separate security teams and tools reduced visibility, delaying threat correlation between enterprise systems and industrial networks.

• Complex Regulatory Requirements: Compliance with energy and cybersecurity standards required specialized reporting, incident response processes, and audit-ready controls.

Solutions 

• Unified IT-OT SOC Model: Deployed a cross-domain SOC with OT specialists, SOC analysts, and compliance oversight for coordinated threat monitoring.

• Industrial-Aware Security Technology Stack: Implemented SIEM, endpoint security, ICS monitoring, and automation tailored for both IT and OT environments.

• Standardized Incident Response Processes: Developed NIST-aligned playbooks and conducted regular security testing to validate OT segmentation and response readiness.

Technology in Use

Business Value Propositions

• Early Detection of OT Security Incidents: Identified and contained suspicious industrial network activity within hours, reducing risk to critical operations.

• Improved IT-OT Collaboration: Shared playbooks and drills improved coordination between enterprise and industrial security teams.

• Stronger Compliance and Resilience: Enabled real-time monitoring and automated reporting to support regulatory audits and infrastructure protection.

Final Perspective

Krish Services Group helped the energy provider secure critical infrastructure by unifying IT and OT security operations. The centralized SOC improved visibility, response speed, and compliance, enabling safer and more resilient energy delivery across national boundaries.
