The digitalisation of power networks introduces multiple operational and security challenges:

• Complex configuration and device interrogation
• Difficulties in patching and firmware updates
• Integration challenges between legacy and modern systems
• Fragmented and complex data handling
• Expanded cyberattack surface
• Stringent uptime and reliability requirements
• Limited skilled personnel and asset visibility

Adding to the challenge, device access varies between vendors due to:

• Different login processes and password management rules
• Unique configuration software and update methods

Many OT devices are also deployed outside secure substation perimeters, relying on public or private IP networks, which complicates credential management and secure access.

REDM provides a secure, scalable, and versatile approach to OT device management across diverse network environments- whether remote, centralised, or local.

Flexible deployment options include:

Central Management Tool

• Deployed centrally to securely manage large installed base of OT devices across Transmission & Distribution systems.
• Supports several additional functions including unified Event File, fault collection and Archiving, unified Asset monitoring.

Substation Tool

• Installed within larger substations for centralised control and monitoring of local OT devices
• Ideal for high-density environments with robust infrastructure

Local Management Tool

• Designed for field engineers and technicians
• Enables secure, on-site access for diagnostics, configuration, and updates

• Smart Automation

  • Automated password updates across all connected devices

  • Remote configuration and firmware management

  • Automated fault and event file collection

• Granular Access Control

  • Define user-specific access and authorisation levels

  • Restrict access to certain vendor tools or versions

  • Restrict/block certain vendor software functionality
• Single Sign-On (SSO) for seamless and secure authentication
• Periodic Device Polling – Scheduled monitoring of device status and settings
• Baseline Monitoring & Management – Compare configurations against approved baseline
• Audit-Ready Logging – Record every action for compliance and traceability
• Interoperability Management – Manage devices from multiple vendors seamlessly
• Integrated Security – Secure remote sessions without revealing device credentials
• Simple, Secure Access – Removes the need to know or share device passwords and IP settings

• Automated Device Management: Simplifies maintenance and improves consistency
• Enhanced Security: Strengthens protection across all OT assets
• Reduced O&M Costs: Minimises manual effort and operational overhead
• Multi-Vendor Support: Works across diverse manufacturer ecosystems
• Cybersecurity Compliance: Aligns with industry standards and regulations
• Comprehensive Audit Trail: Ensures complete visibility and accountability
