Cyber Security Critical National Infrastructure

Thwarting Cyber-Crime

Ground Control supports organizations in the United States and Europe in securing their critical infrastructure to meet the growing threats posed by cyber criminals. We provide secure private satellite networks allowing you to connect SCADA-enabled remote terminals to top end systems to manage critical infrastructure safely.

We also provide hybrid solutions combining private APN based BGAN M2M or Iridium Certus with Cellular services to provide a secure solution, enabling failover between multiple networks in a single device while maintaining a single IP address to ease network integration and management.

Case Studies

Case Study

Environmental Monitoring and Reporting with Obscape

A Government Agency responsible for coastal, stormwater and catchment management has assigned Ground Control customer Obscape to assist with reporting on areas such as - monitoring and reporting on catchment management, flood risk areas, storm drains and drainage ditches with the aid of the RockBLOCK.

Case Study

Optimising Elevator Maintenance

Housing associations and local authorities across the UK are responsible for the maintenance and operation of tens of thousands of elevators. Maintaining these machines and keeping them in optimal operating condition is a constant challenge that requires 24-hour connectivity and surveillance.

Case Study

SCADASat and Garth Wind Shetland Islands Scotland

The SCADASat solution provides the connectivity between the wind farm and the termination point, reporting the data in real-time to effectively control the power generation. This is a crucial function to prevent power saturation at the point of termination and ensure most economic use of the power generated.

Secure Connectivity Devices

Your needs will be determined by how frequently you want to send data; how much data you want to send; whether the data collection point is stationary or mobile; and the level of security you need to apply to ensure that cyber attacks do not damage national infrastructure. These devices are a good starting point, but we’d urge you to contact Ground Control to discuss your needs; with over 20 years’ experience, we can offer impartial advice, and we’re here to help.
