This use case describes how a U.S. regional electricity provider improved substation cybersecurity monitoring and operational visibility using Garland Technology’s TAP-to-Tool™ solution. Facing challenges in gaining real-time access to network traffic across geographically dispersed substations, the utility deployed scalable copper network TAPs and traffic aggregation devices at each site. This standardized approach enabled rapid deployment, simplified technician training, and ensured that OT security tools received 100% of network traffic. The solution enhanced intrusion detection, troubleshooting, NERC-CIP compliance, and asset-level visibility, allowing the utility to detect anomalies, protect critical infrastructure, and maintain operational reliability across substations.
