Our Critical Infrastructure Approach

Since 2011, KoreLogic has provided cybersecurity services to critical infrastructure operators including water utilities, electrical grid operators, and electrical utilities. Our approach addresses the unique challenges of securing environments where IT and OT converge.

IT/OT Convergence Security

Testing the boundaries and segmentation between IT and OT environments — within OT networks, across IT/OT boundaries, and between OT and remote site connections.

ICS/SCADA Assessment

Security evaluation of industrial control system components including RTUs, PACs, PLCs, actuators, SCADA systems (HMI, historian, servers), and engineering workstations.

Operational Security Practices

Review of operational security practices including incident response readiness, vulnerability management programs, and threat monitoring capabilities specific to critical infrastructure environments.

Framework Alignment

Security program benchmarking against industry-specific frameworks including AWWA cybersecurity guidance for water utilities, NIST Cybersecurity Framework for broader critical infrastructure assessment, and NERC CIP guidance supporting FERC electric utility compliance efforts.

ICS/SCADA Components Tested

Remote Terminal Units (RTU)
Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC)
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
SCADA HMI, historians, and servers
Engineering workstations
OT protocols and actuators

Critical Infrastructure Service Areas

Four integrated service areas covering the full spectrum of critical infrastructure cybersecurity — from hands-on penetration testing through architecture review and program maturity assessment.

IT/OT Penetration Testing

Network segmentation testing across OT environments, IT/OT boundaries, and remote site connections — including assessment of ICS components, SCADA systems, and OT protocols.

  • • Network segmentation within OT
  • • IT/OT boundary assessment
  • • OT/remote site connection testing
  • • ICS component security (RTU, PAC, PLC)
  • • SCADA system assessment (HMI, historian)
  • • OT protocol analysis

Enterprise Application Testing

Web application penetration testing of enterprise support applications used in critical infrastructure environments — testing the systems that support operational decision-making.

  • • Data mining and analytics platforms
  • • Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
  • • Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
  • • Energy management systems

Security Architecture Review

Comprehensive review of security infrastructure architecture through scenario-based threat modeling, network function analysis, data flow mapping, and access point assessment.

  • • Scenario-based threat modeling
  • • Network functions review
  • • Data flow and access point analysis
  • • Incident response readiness
  • • Vulnerability management review
  • • Threat monitoring assessment

Security Program Gap Analysis

Systematic assessment of security program maturity benchmarked against industry-specific frameworks to identify gaps, prioritize improvements, and build a roadmap toward mature security operations. For electric utilities, this can support internal readiness for NERC CIP expectations under FERC oversight.

  • • AWWA cybersecurity guidance benchmarking
  • • NIST Cybersecurity Framework assessment
  • • NERC CIP readiness support for electric utilities
  • • Security maturity scoring
  • • Prioritized improvement roadmap
