New England Island Enterprise — Connectivity Independence
Hotels and golf courses on a populated New England island were being quoted $10,000 to $20,000 per month for ISP connectivity — ten to twenty times the mainland rate for equivalent service. ISPs knew they had a captive market. They did not know who they were dealing with.
Triton installed a 30-kilometer Ubiquiti point-to-point radio link between a mainland hotel building and an existing island antenna mast. The result: over 2 Gbps of connectivity against a 1 Gbps request. Total investment was a few thousand dollars in hardware plus ferry costs. The client now pays mainland rates, received double the requested bandwidth, and has since ordered additional deployments expanding Triton-managed connectivity to other island businesses.
A $20,000-per-month problem. Solved for the cost of a ferry ticket and a few thousand in hardware.
Critical Infrastructure IT Requires a Critical Infrastructure Mindset
Utility organizations operate the systems that communities depend on — electrical grids, water treatment facilities, natural gas distribution, and renewable energy assets. Triton provides the specialized OT/IT cybersecurity and infrastructure expertise your critical operations demand.
Utility IT & OT Infrastructure Management
Utility organizations operate two converging technology environments: the Information Technology (IT) network that runs business operations, and the Operational Technology (OT) network that controls physical infrastructure — substations, RTUs, PLCs, meters, and SCADA systems. Triton specializes in both.
As IT/OT convergence accelerates, utilities must maintain strict network segmentation between enterprise systems and operational control environments. Triton designs and manages DMZ architectures, unidirectional security gateways, and industrial firewalls (Fortinet FortiGate, Palo Alto, Claroty) that protect OT assets while enabling necessary data flows.
Key platforms: Claroty, Dragos Platform, Nozomi Networks, Fortinet FortiGate, Cisco Industrial Network Director, OSIsoft PI System (AVEVA), GE SCADA, ABB, Honeywell Experion
NERC CIP Compliance for Electric Utilities
Electric utilities that operate Bulk Electric System (BES) assets are subject to NERC CIP reliability standards — the mandatory cybersecurity requirements of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. Non-compliance carries penalties up to $1 million per violation per day.
Triton helps utilities implement and document controls aligned to the full NERC CIP standard set: CIP-002 (BES asset identification), CIP-003 (security management), CIP-005 (electronic security perimeters), CIP-006 (physical security), CIP-007 (systems security management), CIP-010 (configuration management), CIP-011 (information protection), and CIP-013 (supply chain risk management).
We support NERC CIP audit preparation, evidence collection, policy documentation, and remediation planning for utilities facing upcoming audits from NERC Regional Entities.
Additional frameworks: FERC Order 887 (IRRP), CISA ICS-CERT advisories, NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 3 (Guide to ICS Security)
ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity & Operational Technology Protection
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA environments are increasingly targeted by nation-state actors and ransomware groups. The 2021 Oldsmar water treatment attack and Colonial Pipeline ransomware incident demonstrated the real-world consequences of inadequate OT security.
Triton implements ICS-specific cybersecurity controls aligned to NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 3 and CISA ICS-CERT guidance: asset inventory and classification, network segmentation, remote access security (jump servers, MFA), vulnerability management for legacy OT assets, and OT-aware SIEM monitoring.
Patch management for legacy OT systems requires careful planning — we work with your engineering team to implement compensating controls and patch windows that protect operations without disrupting uptime.
Key threats monitored: Triton malware, PIPEDREAM/INCONTROLLER, FrostyGoop, COSMICENERGY — nation-state tools specifically targeting ICS environments
Water Utility, Natural Gas & Renewable Energy IT Solutions
Water and wastewater utilities operating under EPA and state DEP oversight face cybersecurity requirements driven by America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA Section 2013), which mandates risk and resilience assessments and Emergency Response Plans every 5 years.
Natural gas distribution and pipeline operators follow TSA Security Directives (Pipeline-2021-01 through 02C) and API 1164 pipeline SCADA security standards. Triton helps operators document cybersecurity incident reporting procedures, implement network segmentation, and conduct tabletop exercises.
Renewable energy operators (solar, wind, battery storage) connecting to the grid face growing NERC CIP applicability questions as BES definitions evolve. Triton monitors regulatory developments and implements appropriate security controls for your generation and storage assets.
Named systems supported: OSIsoft PI System (AVEVA), GE Grid Solutions, Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric EcoStruxure, Itron AMI, Oracle Utilities (CC&B/MDM/WAM), Maximo Asset Management
