Use case: infrastructure monitoring in the energy sector
Summary
Obviously, we’re most interested in the monitoring aspect of this approach, and specifically: how it can be integrated into an overall management and control solution to provide an holistic overview for OT operators. Since the MRX router is Linux-based, we were able to deploy our PRTG multi-platform probe as an LXC container to retrieve monitoring data. Using predominantly SNMP and Modbus functionality, we were able to monitor not only the MRX router itself, but also devices connected to it: a Dehn lightning detector, a Wago PLC, and a CCTV camera. • The icom Data Suite gives access to metrics regarding the remote energy facilities, including the photovoltaic system, the wind farm, and more. The recent global focus on cybersecurity for OT networks, as well as the implementation of more stringent industry standards (such as NIS2 in Europe) mean that the management of critical infrastructure needs a coordinated and holistic approach.
