EPG Solutions

The electric grid faces threats that are evolving faster than ever—sophisticated cyber attacks from nation-states and criminals, insider risks, supply-chain vulnerabilities, physical sabotage, and the growing attack surface from interconnected renewables, smart devices, and third-party vendors. In this environment, waiting for an incident to occur isn't an option. Utilities need forward-looking intelligence and rigorous testing to identify weaknesses before adversaries do, so the grid stays secure, reliable, and resilient for the communities you serve.
At EPG Solutions, as your Midwest-based partner deeply rooted in the electric utility industry, we don't just talk about risk—we help you stay ahead of it. Our team combines real-world grid operations experience with advanced threat intelligence practices to deliver proactive defense strategies that align with NERC CIP requirements, protect critical infrastructure, and minimize operational disruption.
Our Proven Capabilities Include:
Advanced Intelligence Gathering — We continuously monitor open-source, dark-web, and industry-specific threat feeds tailored to electric utilities. This includes tracking emerging tactics targeting SCADA/EMS systems, OT networks, substation equipment, and supply-chain vendors. We deliver concise, actionable briefings that highlight relevant risks to your specific assets, geography, and market (like SPP), so your security and operations teams can prioritize effectively.
Risk Foresight & Modeling — Using utility-specific scenarios, we model potential attack vectors, cascading failure risks, and business impacts. Our assessments go beyond generic frameworks—we incorporate your actual grid topology, control systems, renewable integration points, and regulatory obligations to forecast high-probability, high-consequence threats. This helps leadership make informed decisions on investments, hardening priorities, and insurance/risk transfer strategies.
Red Cell Testing & Adversary Simulation — We conduct controlled, realistic red team exercises that mimic real-world adversaries—from phishing and social engineering to physical intrusion attempts, network pivots, and OT-targeted attacks (e.g., on relays, RTUs, or historian systems). Our tests are designed with NERC CIP in mind, including purple-team collaboration to transfer knowledge quickly to your blue team. We focus on practical findings: exploitable gaps, misconfigurations, and procedural weaknesses that could lead to loss of load, reliability events, or compliance violations.
Vulnerability Assessments & Hardening Recommendations — We perform in-depth scans and reviews of your BES Cyber Systems, electronic security perimeters, and supply-chain exposures. Our reports provide prioritized, cost-effective remediation roadmaps that balance security gains with operational continuity—always grounded in utility realities like seasonal peak loads, regulatory deadlines, and ratepayer cost sensitivity.
Incident Response Readiness & Tabletop Exercises — We facilitate customized tabletop and simulation exercises to test your cyber incident response plans, coordination with reliability coordinators, and communication with regulators and stakeholders. These build muscle memory so your team responds swiftly and confidently when real events occur.
We're not outsiders applying cookie-cutter approaches—we're utility professionals who understand the unique stakes: protecting ratepayers from service interruptions, safeguarding your workforce, maintaining compliance without unnecessary burden, and preserving public trust in the grid.
Whether you're strengthening defenses against rising nation-state threats, preparing for NERC audit cycles, or building resilience as renewables and DERs expand your attack surface, EPG Solutions is your trusted Midwest partner committed to proactive protection.
