Our Focus

The Grid Is Vulnerable

As Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) proliferate across the U.S. grid, it’s architecture is becoming decentralized and interconnected – extending networks far beyond  conventional perimeters. This growing connectivity, while essential for meeting demand and enhancing resilience, exposes millions of new endpoints to cyber threats. 

Malicious actors, now equipped with advanced tools like AI, are exploiting this increased attack surface. The grid is a primary target and it’s expanding vulnerabilities are hit daily by sophisticated cyber threats – hindering utilities from unlocking the full potential of DERs.

DERs Increase the Attack Surface

U.S. distributed energy resource capacity will grow by 217 GW through 2028, equivalent to 70% of anticipated bulk generation capacity added during the same period, according to a report by Wood Mackenzie.

The Solution

Decentralized, Zero-Trust Access Governance

Built on least privilege principles, our cybersecurity architecture enforces granular access controls on each device allowing communications between authorized nodes to occur only as needed. This dramatically reduces exposure to cyber threats and enhances access governance across the entire OT ecosystem. Our system ensures operational continuity, even during network partitions, by leveraging a proprietary distributed ledger technology that is embedded on each  device. When the security layer is designed for distribution from the start, innovation at the edge doesn’t create risk; it compounds resilience.

OUR VALUE

What We Offer to Grid Operators

Trust

Solitude Labs software creates a secure perimeter around each device – turning weakness into  strength. As the grid scales, the mesh network of devices becomes more resilient to cyberattacks.

Interoperability

Our software will act as a universal translator by translating various communication protocols into  one standardized language. This enables seamless integration and management across vendors,  uniting previously siloed devices.

Visibility & Control

Our technology creates low-latency, encrypted communication channels between nodes, enabling  owners and operators to have device-level telemetry and control over what were previously blind  spots.

Key Features

Data-Centric Zero-Trust

Verify every connection, trust nothing by default

Agnostic By Design

Not only are we interoperable; we’re also network-agnostic – operating through any medium

Granular RBAC / ABAC

Every device has a distrbuted ledger – a permission list of all devices that it can talk to and who can talk to them

Low-Latency Peer-to-Peer Data

Real-time secure communication between distributed assets

Resilient to Network Outages

Continuous operation even when connectivity is compromised

Decentralized Key Management

Independent cryptographic engines eliminate single points of failure

Unlocking the Power of DERs

PEAK LOAD REDUCTION

Reduce grid stress on transmission and distribution lines by leveraging localized generation  and storage 

VIRTUAL POWER PLANTS

Aggregate DERs into dispatchable power plants ready for wholesale market  participation and grid services.

FASTER DEPLOYMENT

DERs are 4x faster to deploy than conventional power plants, meeting the pace of our rapidly increasing demand.

LOCALIZED RESILIENCE

Maintain power during outages through microgrids that can island and  serve critical loads independently.

GRID STABILIZATION

Stop grid failures by detecting and isolating threats or faults before they can proliferate  across the grid. 

DER REVENUE PROGRAMS

Launch new rate structures and incentive programs for both customers and utilities
