Industrial Defender updates OT security platform to support CIP-015 compliance
Industrial Defender has integrated network monitoring with endpoint intelligence to assist critical infrastructure operators in meeting CIP-015 regulatory requirements.
Industrial Defender announced an update to its operational technology (OT) security platform in Orlando on October 20, 2026. The integration aims to correlate network anomalies with detailed asset data, a functionality designed to help operators adhere to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation's CIP-015 reliability standards.
The update introduces a feature called Risk Signal, which processes security findings into prioritized patching schedules. By automating the correlation between device vulnerabilities and network activity, the system seeks to reduce the manual workload typically required to assess security risks in industrial control environments.
This development addresses growing regulatory pressure on the energy sector to maintain visibility over supply chain cybersecurity. Industrial Defender’s approach focuses on bridging the gap between passive network monitoring and deep asset intelligence, a common point of friction for utility providers managing legacy infrastructure.
The company remains focused on streamlining remediation processes for operators who face increasing audit demands. The platform is currently available to existing clients in the utility and energy sectors.
