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.
