Built-in cybersecurity protection for energy storage assets
Nova Shield is directly integrated into every Nova system we install, safeguarding assets with advanced cybersecurity measures, robust network architecture, and AI-powered anomaly detection.
Multi-Layered Security Architecture
Nova Shield's security implementation begins with the Purdue Reference Model, which segregates the network into hierarchical levels to isolate critical systems. The system deploys firewalls at both network and application layers to filter traffic and enforce security policies. Additionally, it integrates IDS and IPS capabilities that monitor network traffic for malicious activities and take proactive measures to prevent intrusions.
Intrusion Prevention
Detect unauthorized physical breaches
Nova Shield includes an array of cameras and physical sensors on every access point to detect any attempts to tamper with energy assets. If there is an unauthorized intrusion attempt, our on-call teams are immediately alerted.
Intrusion Prevention
Provide secure access for hardware maintenance
Local network ports are disabled by default and remain inactive until enabled by authorized personnel. Maintenance is managed through controlled access protocols, where permissions are granted temporarily and monitored by our on-call security team.
Encryption Protocols
- NERC CIP & NIST 800-53 Controls
Adheres to NERC and federal guidelines for security and privacy controls.
- TLS 1.3 for Data in Transit
Secures communication channels against eavesdropping and tampering.
- AES-256 for Data at Rest
Encrypts stored data to prevent unauthorized access.
