Building Better Substation Networks With SDN—Field Results

SEL software-defined networking (SDN) is delivering real-world benefits for operational technology (OT) networks, such as substation LANs. SEL SDN has been shown to strengthen cybersecurity, improve network performance for IEC 61850-based protection systems, and streamline data collection for NERC CIP compliance audits.

In this webinar, we’ll share the results from utility deployments worldwide. You’ll learn about:

• Faster network failover times with SDN.
• Improved traffic management for IEC 61850.
• SDN’s deny-by-default architecture.
• The elimination of traditional network vulnerabilities.
• Automated data collection for NERC CIP compliance reporting using the new Flow Auditor application.
• The new SEL-2742S Software-Defined Network Switch.
• New capabilities of the SEL-5056 Software-Defined Network Flow Controller, including Learn & Lock functionality.
• What’s next in development plans.
