Fend to Expand Hydropower Cybersecurity Offerings


Fend recently won a US Department of Energy (DOE) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award to protect dams and hydropower facilities from cyberattack. Fend will be adding additional communication options to best serve the most remote of sites while providing physically-enforced one-way protection with its line of data diodes.


Do you work in hydropower or serve this community? We'd love to hear from you. Contact us today at info@fend.tech.


New Case Study: Data Centers


With AI driving data center usage to new heights, energy efficiency is becoming even more important in the quest to improve PUE. The operational assets - HVAC, chillers, air handlers, EPS, lighting systems - need to be run efficiently and resiliently to meet tight SLAs. Fend helps you get the operational readiness data you need without creating threat vectors. Learn more at https://www.fend.tech/critical-facilities.
