Why East-West Visibility Matters for Grid Security
March 18, 2026 · Trend Micro · Severity: CRITICAL
Learn how east-west traffic visibility helps detect and stop lateral movement attacks inside electric grid infrastructure and critical OT networks.
Key Takeaways
- Trend Micro explains how east-west traffic visibility helps detect and stop lateral movement attacks inside electric grid infrastructure and critical OT networks.
- Grid operators should monitor east-west traffic because attackers move laterally between OT assets once inside the perimeter.
- Deploying east-west visibility across grid networks enables early detection of compromised devices before they impact operations.
