Doble's Transient Cyber Asset Security Service a Hit among Top Electric Utilities, Demand Rises

Doble Engineering Company, a leader in power grid diagnostic solutions and subsidiary of ESCO Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE), today announced it has seen sustained growth in its Transient Cyber Asset (TCA) program. During the first half of 2020, the company achieved a record client renewal rate and strong customer acquisition growth, especially among the Fortune 500 and top electric utilities in the U.S. Doble's Transient Cyber Asset program is a comprehensive Managed Security Services (MSS) solution that supports electric utility field crews. As part of the offering, customers can choose from a range of rugged, special-purpose laptops or tablets, called Doble Universal Controllers (DUCs), or use their own transient devices. Doble's expert team hardens the devices to minimize cybersecurity risks and optimizes them for efficient field work. Doble's solution also includes remote management, 24/7 customer support, and compliance monitoring to ensure the devices remain secure and compliant to applicable regulations over their operational lifetime. Doble's Transient Cyber Asset program is growing due to the continuing evolution of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation's (NERC) critical infrastructure protection (CIP) cybersecurity standards. NERC CIP-003-8, which went into effect in January 2020, expanded transient cyber asset requirements to low impact substations, bringing many more power plants and utilities within scope of the security mandates.
