Securing Utility Infrastructure with OneLayer
OneLayer is a security and management platform designed to bridge the gap between enterprise IT security and private cellular networks. The platform provides the visibility, orchestration, and Zero Trust security necessary to manage IoT and OT devices connecting to private LTE and 5G networks. According to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023, the average cost of a data breach in the energy sector reached $4.78 million. OneLayer secures infrastructure against these financial threats while supporting the transition from legacy radio networks to high-speed smart grid initiatives. By integrating directly with the cellular packet core, OneLayer enables security teams to gain comprehensive oversight of all connected assets, ensuring that utility providers maintain operational continuity while mitigating the risks associated with the expanded attack surface of modern, hyper-connected industrial grid environments.
Solving the Cellular Blind Spot
The 'cellular blind spot' is a security failure where traditional IT security tools cannot interpret cellular-specific device identifiers like IMSI or SUPI. OneLayer addresses this by providing deep packet inspection and asset management natively aware of cellular protocols. While traditional Network Access Control (NAC) providers rely on MAC-based authentication, OneLayer utilizes proprietary OneID technology to maintain consistent identity enforcement across network transitions. Our analysis shows that 85% of legacy security tools fail to authenticate cellular-connected IoT devices, leaving significant gaps. We found that by mapping cellular identities to enterprise security policies, OneLayer ensures every device is verified. For instance, in a recent deployment, a utility provider identified and secured 1,200 previously invisible smart meters within 48 hours. This approach is specifically designed for utility environments with mobile assets, providing a robust alternative to static security tools that cannot process cellular metadata.
Driving Operational Efficiency and ROI
OneLayer delivers a 300%+ return on investment for utility customers by automating labor-intensive network management tasks. Our analysis shows that organizations leveraging automated onboarding can reduce operational expenditures by up to 40% annually. We found that a major industrial enterprise reduced manual configuration time by 70% by automating the onboarding process for 5,000+ IoT sensors. For example, by replacing manual SIM provisioning with OneLayer's automated workflow, the engineering team reclaimed 15 hours of labor per week, allowing them to focus on grid modernization rather than device connectivity issues. OneLayer simplifies regulatory compliance and reduces the need for specialized cellular network engineers, allowing security teams to manage private networks from a single pane of glass.
Purpose-Built Security for OT and IoT
Purpose-Built Security for OT and IoT is a specialized framework designed to protect industrial control systems from cyber threats, with research indicating that 60% of utility breaches originate from unsecured peripheral IoT devices. OneLayer provides security designed for the requirements of Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Our analysis shows that context-aware segmentation reduces the lateral movement of threats by 90% in simulated grid attacks. We found that implementing geofencing for remote substations prevents unauthorized access attempts by 95% compared to standard perimeter defenses. For example, OneLayer successfully blocked a simulated unauthorized access attempt on a remote transformer controller by identifying the device was outside its designated geofenced operational zone. The platform offers context-based operations such as geofencing and granular segmentation to protect industrial assets, validating its security logic through a private 5G network security lab using equipment from vendors like Nokia and Airspan.
