Industrial Defender Adds Network Monitoring, Risk Signal to OT Platform
Orlando – October 20, 2026 -- Industrial Defender has released a platform update that adds internal network security monitoring (INSM) and a remediation tool called Risk SignalTM, targeting utilities that must comply with the FERC-approved NERC CIP-015-1 standard.
The standard requires entities with high and medium impact BES Cyber Systems to monitor internal network traffic, detect and evaluate anomalies, and retain and protect the resulting data.
INSM learns device baselines and flags deviations
Built into the existing platform, the INSM solution learns each device's baseline communications. It flags new connections, unexpected protocols, anomalous traffic volume and unknown devices communicating.
Each anomaly is correlated with the asset data Industrial Defender maintains, including configuration changes, vulnerabilities and risk score. Operators can see immediately what a network change means to operations, the company said.
