Why East-West Visibility Matters for Grid Security

East-west traffic visibility enables detection and prevention of lateral movement attacks within electric grid infrastructure and operational technology (OT) networks. Monitoring internal network communications helps identify compromise attempts that traverse between systems rather than entering from external sources.

Why it matters: Grid operators and OT security teams must implement east-west visibility to detect attackers moving laterally through critical infrastructure after initial compromise, reducing dwell time and limiting attack scope.
