High-voltage grids & energy infrastructure (KRITIS)

Substations, converter stations and transmission corridors are remote, unmanned and increasingly targeted. Meridian brings grid alarms, perimeter sensors, drone patrols and field crews into one spatial picture — so a tripped fence at 02:00 is assessed in minutes, not at the next inspection round.

The challenge

01
Physical sabotage at unmanned sites
Today
Substations and converter stations are remote and unmanned. An alarm at 2 a.m. often means a patrol car and an hour’s drive before anyone knows what happened.
With Meridian
The alarm, camera feeds, grid readings and a drone’s live view arrive as one incident on one map. Within minutes you know whether it is an animal, a thief or a saboteur — and who is closest.
02
NIS2 obligations for essential entities
Today
Significant incidents must be reported within 24 hours and supply chains must be under control, while the evidence sits in half a dozen systems.
With Meridian
Every incident builds its own timeline as it happens, ready for the regulator. And the platform itself adds no foreign supplier to your risk register.
03
OT and IT alarms in separate silos
Today
The control room sees the grid, the SOC sees the network, security sees the fence — and nobody sees that all three raised an alarm within the same ten minutes.
With Meridian
Operational, IT and physical alarms are correlated on one picture, so a coordinated attack shows up as one pattern, not three tickets.

In the news

Energy & civil resilience

The cable was damaged. The consequences spread across the city.

A power outage becomes a coordination problem long before repairs are complete. Operators, emergency services and local authorities need different information about the same streets, facilities and people needing assistance.

Electricity & connected data

The grid went dark. The explanation took months.

At 12:33 on 28 April 2025, continental Spain and Portugal lost power. Reconstructing the event required evidence from across the electricity system. For a Belgian operator such as ELIA, the lesson is about connecting operational context without confusing it with grid control.

Maritime & critical infrastructure

The cable is underwater. The response starts above it.

A damaged undersea cable draws in its operator, coastguards, repair crews and investigators. Each sees a different part of the event. The challenge is to assemble a picture while keeping a technical failure, an accident and suspected sabotage distinct.

Rail & logistics

An explosion on the line. Found the next morning.

Since the war in Ukraine, Europe’s railways, parcel hubs and cargo airports have become targets. The attacks are cheap, often carried out by recruits paid through Telegram, and noticed late. What that means for the operators who are now legally required to protect them.

The CER Directive: what critical entities must do now

Europe’s critical-entities rules are now law in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and before parliament in France. They ask operators to do for physical threats what NIS2 asks for cyber: assess the risk, protect, detect, respond — and report within 24 hours. What the rules require, where each country stands, and what it means in the control room.

What is a common operational picture?

One shared, live view of a situation that everyone involved works from. It sounds simple — and most organisations that protect critical infrastructure still don’t have one. What it is, what goes into it, and how to tell a real one from a dashboard.
