Power Up Your Security with 12Port Zero Trust Platform
Protect power grids, water systems, and critical infrastructure with Privileged Access Management (PAM) and microsegmentation to ensure operational continuity, compliance, and defend against cyber-attacks.
Securing critical infrastructure is more urgent than ever, with 40% of ransomware attacks targeting energy, water, transportation, and utilities. As cyber threats rise and systems grow more connected, energy and utility companies need strong defenses to protect access and segment IT and OT systems.
The 12Port Zero Trust Platform combines Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Microsegmentation for layered defense. PAM secures and rotates privileged credentials, while microsegmentation isolates IT and OT systems to contain breaches before they disrupt critical services.
12Port simplifies Zero Trust
helping you to…
Enhance Security
Reduce the attack surface by isolating critical systems, cloud applications, and IoT devices while enforcing least privileged access.
Safeguard Operational Technology (OT)
Segment networks dedicated to OT, including industrial equipment, assets, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), ICS (Industrial Control Systems), and DCS (Distributed Control Systems). Apply granular access policies to ensure only authorized personnel can access sensitive systems.
Secure Smart Grid Devices
Secure IoT-enabled devices and smart grid technologies, preventing cyber threats from compromising vital services.
Reduce Ransomware Impact and Costs
Lock down privileged accounts and contain threats within individual segments, minimizing the impact of a breach and reducing the cost of remediation.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Align with NERC CIP, FERC, and other industry regulations by implementing strict security policies.
Secure Cloud and On-Prem Environments
Apply consistent security controls across both on-premises and cloud-based environments, including power generation and distribution systems.
Zero Trust Use Cases
Privileged access management and microsegmentation don’t need to be complex or overwhelming. Energy, utility, and other critical infrastructure companies can start by targeting their most critical or vulnerable systems. Even small, strategic zero trust initiatives can deliver significant security benefits.
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Protection
Microsegmentation isolates PLCs and SCADA components, while PAM enforces strict credential management for engineers and contractors. This prevents lateral movement and ensures only authorized users access critical OT systems.
Compliance with NERC CIP Standards
Combine PAM’s credential vaulting and auditing with microsegmentation’s network isolation to meet NERC CIP-005 (Electronic Security Perimeter(s)) and CIP-007 (Systems Security Management). By creating granular security zones and controlling access, microsegmentation not only strengthens security but also simplifies audit readiness with improved network visibility.
Segment Business Functions
Strengthens security with secure remote access for business users and by segmenting business functions, limiting unnecessary connections between departments. You can isolate back-office systems from operational technology—accountants don’t need access to SCADA systems, and floor engineers connected to PLCs shouldn’t reach the corporate ERP system. By enforcing strict access controls between these environments, PAM and microsegmentation reduce the risk of lateral movement by malicious actors or bots. This approach enhances zero trust architecture, minimizes the attack surface, and protects critical systems across the network.
Asset Mapping and Visualization
Microsegmentation provides clear asset mapping and network visualization, critical for energy and critical infrastructure companies. By identifying and categorizing all devices, applications, and communication flows, organizations gain real-time visibility into how assets interact. This insight helps define precise security policies, detect unusual activity, and reduce the risk of blind spots that attackers could exploit, strengthening both network security and operational resilience.
