CONNECTED SYSTEMS + CYBER RESILIENCE
Protect the Systems Behind the Resilience.
Modern energy, water, building, mobility, and infrastructure systems are increasingly connected.
CONNECTED INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRES PROTECTED INFRASTRUCTURE.
BEYOND TRADITIONAL CYBERSECURITY
Protect More Than Your Files. Protect the Systems You Depend On.
Consumer cybersecurity is essential for protecting devices, accounts, files, and personal information. Connected homes, businesses, and infrastructure (Operations Technology "OT") introduce another layer: safety of people, equipment, controls, communications, and remote connections that help cyber-physical systems operate.
TRADITIONAL CONSUMER CYBERSECURITY
OPERATIONS TECHNOLOGY CYBER RESILIENCE
Protects the digital life you use.
Extends protection to the systems you depend on.
Computers
Energy Controls and HVAC/Comfort
Phones
Solar + Storage Systems
Files & Email
EV Charging
Accounts
Smart Panels + Building Controls
Personal Data
Water + Environmental Systems
People & Maintenance Staff
Connected Equipment
Remote Access
This protection remains important for everyday digital security.
USS considers how connected equipment, communications, authorized users, and operational access should be protected as part of system integration.
THE DIFFERENCE IS SIMPLE:
CYBERSECURITY PROTECTs YOUR INFORMATION.
CYBER RESILIENCE PROTECTs YOU.
LAYERED PROTECTION
Defense In Depth is the Technologist's TermÂ
Connected-system security works best as a coordinated strategy. USS harmonizes authorized owners and users to their equipment, communications, and interactive operation requirements.
EQUIPMENT
Hardening the Core
- Smart Panels
- Inverters
- HVAC Clusters
Connected infrastructure is more resilient when protection is considered across the entire operating environment—not just at a single device or connection.
CONNECTIONS
Securing Transmission
- Encrypted Data
- Gateway Logic
- Cellular Links
PEOPLE
Authorizing Access
- Multi-Factor Authentication
- Role Management
- User Logs
OPERATIONS
Supporting Continuity
- Remote Support
- Auto-Recovery
- System Health
CYBER RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT
Understand What’s Connected. Know What Needs Protection.
Whether you’re protecting a connected home, a business operation, or community infrastructure, the right cybersecurity strategy begins with understanding the environment.
USS evaluates connected equipment, system vulnerabilities, access requirements, operational dependencies, and resilience priorities to help determine an appropriate path forward.
