Rohnert Park, CA – Today, at the kickoff of RE+, the nation’s largest energy event, Operant Networks, a leading innovator in cybersecurity solutions for the power generation sector, proudly announced the successful deployment of its technology across over 15 gigawatts (GW) of power generation facilities. Operant's CEO, Keith Rose, expressed gratitude to customers, stating, "We are incredibly grateful to our customers for trusting us as a technology partner for over 15GW of power generation facilities. This milestone is a testament to our commitment to delivering the highest levels of cybersecurity and reliability for the future electric grid."

Founded in 2016 by experts from the energy and telecommunications industries, Operant Networks was established with a mission to secure distributed energy systems that rely heavily on Internet-based communication. In a 2021 study, the U.S. Department of Energy described Operant's technology as potentially "game-changing" for enabling the electric grid's transition to distributed renewables while also protecting national security.

While Operant Networks has been at the forefront of safeguarding power plants, the company’s vision extends beyond the energy sector. CEO Keith Rose noted, "Since launching Operant, we've recognized that other critical infrastructure sectors, such as manufacturing and transportation, are undergoing similar transformations by adopting modern technologies like public cloud and Artificial Intelligence. While this evolution makes economic sense, it also creates a scenario with massive amounts of data being transmitted and accessed by various stakeholders—posing a perfect storm from a cybersecurity perspective."
