Asimily selected for the US Department of Energy’s Clean program

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Asymily, the industry-leading risk management platform for IoMT, OT and IoT devices, today announced that it has been selected to participate in the second cohort of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Energy Cybersecurity Accelerator™ (CECA) program. Managed by DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the program evaluates innovative solutions that actively identify all assets connected to a utility’s infrastructure, both physically and virtually.

Asimily will participate in an acceleration period during which its platform will be evaluated at NREL Advanced Research in Integrated Energy Systems (ARIES) Cyber ​​Range—advanced simulation environment with situational awareness and real-time visualization.

“Growing cybersecurity threats to utilities make it essential that this critical infrastructure is well protected” said Shankar Somasundaram, CEO and founder of Asimily. “With the information we gain from deploying Asimily at ARIES, we expect to further enhance our platform’s ability to identify OT and IoT assets – including any vulnerabilities – to protect against increasingly effective adversaries“

“Asimily has developed technology to identify and enrich OT data through network traffic analysis enhanced by correlation with other sources and methods. At ARIES, we are uniquely able to test our capabilities against real, known inventory, allowing us to prove or get closer to the ultimate goal – 100% accurate identification of all OTs.“

Working with its partners, CECA identifies urgent vulnerabilities in the modern power grid and supports the validation of emerging technologies that can help address these threats. Selected participants benefit from access to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) unique evaluation capabilities, where solutions will be rigorously tested.

The results of the Cohort 2 technical assessments will culminate in a public report documenting the research process and its results. Asimili, along with other Cohort 2 participants, will receive competitive experience and professional third-party evaluation of their technology.

“We are excited to work with Cohort 2 participants,” said Dane Christensen, CECA program manager at NREL. “The selected technologies offer solutions to solve hidden threats in public utility networks resulting from incomplete system visibility and device security and configuration. Through an independent third-party site assessment, CECA helps accelerate needed technologies to market to help improve core network security.”

Featured at the White House National Cybersecurity StrategyCECA advances federal goals of securing a clean energy future by accelerating the adoption of cybersecurity solutions that protect renewable energy systems.

CECA is managed by NREL and sponsored by DOE Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security and Emergency Response and utility partners in collaboration with DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
