Industrial Cybersecurity for Ongoing Operations

Securing Existing Infrastructure

Organizations in critical infrastructure industries are building industrial cyber programs to address the cybersecurity needs of their existing assets. Black & Veatch’s Cyber Asset Lifecycle Management (CALM) services provide solutions for the design, implementation, and ongoing management of cybersecurity programs to protect the company's operational assets.

Comprehensive Solutions

Building industrial cyber programs can be an uphill climb. From unclear roles and responsibilities, investment and budget constraints, and friction between IT and OT, organizations are challenged to get an effective program up and running. CALM accounts for the financial, operational, and organizational realities that must be addressed to establish and run a robust cyber program. Aside from being a technically strong solution, CALM ensures it’s an implementable and sustainable one.

It determines where a client stands in their cyber journey and ensures that the appropriate services and solutions are recommended to help them reach their objectives. It’s the initial step any company needs to take, at any stage of their cyber journey, to achieve the organizations cybersecurity goals.

Program Reach

Our CALM services address both programmatic and site-level dimensions.

  • Program-level capabilities refer to the aspects of a program that apply across all locations, like policy development, incident response capabilities and governance.

  • The site-level dimension refers to the technologies and capabilities that need to be implemented and maintained at each asset location, like hardening, asset management and vulnerability management.

Considering both site and program-level dimensions fits naturally with the way organizations are currently managing their operations.
