CRITICAL NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

 Client:  Critical National Infrastructure site, UK
The Problem

A key national infrastructure site in the UK faced a range of challenges related to maintaining the resilience of their infrastructure and ensuring continuous service delivery. One major issue was the age and complexity of their Operational Technology (OT) systems, which presented significant risks related to potential failures or disruptions. Additionally, there were concerns related to the threat of cyber attacks, which could compromise the safety and security of the site and its users.


The Solution

Darkskope was brought in to assess the risks and design a comprehensive resilience plan that would ensure the continued operation of critical services in the face of any potential disruptions. This involved a detailed analysis of the site's OT systems, as well as the development of advanced cybersecurity measures to protect against potential threats. Darkskope also worked closely with the site's management team to develop and implement a robust crisis management plan, which would enable the site to respond quickly and effectively in the event of any major incidents or disruptions.

To address the challenges related to the site's OT systems, Darkskope worked with the client to develop and implement a number of key solutions. These included the deployment of advanced monitoring and analytics tools to improve visibility into the performance of OT systems, as well as the implementation of advanced predictive maintenance strategies to reduce the risk of failures or disruptions. Darkskope also worked with the client to enhance the security of their OT systems, including the implementation of advanced access controls and the development of customized security protocols tailored to the unique needs of the site.

The Outcome

As a result of Darkskope's work, the site was able to significantly improve its resilience and enhance its ability to provide critical services to the public. The site's OT systems were updated and fortified against potential disruptions, and advanced cybersecurity measures were implemented to protect against cyber attacks. The crisis management plan developed by Darkskope enabled the site to respond quickly and effectively to any major incidents or disruptions, ensuring that critical services could be maintained at all times. Overall, Darkskope's work helped to safeguard the site's operations and ensure the continued provision of critical services to the public.
