NEVERHACK + Infosim® | Smart, Automated, Secure

The challenge of energy digitalisation in Spain

Spain's power distribution network is undergoing a major digital transformation. Thousands of medium-voltage transformation centres — spread throughout urban and rural areas — are not only responsible for voltage conversion, but also serve as critical communication nodes, linking smart meters to the data centres of energy providers.

These environments rely heavily on industrial-grade routers using 3G mobile networks for data transmission. However, with the ongoing 3G network shutdown, energy companies are now facing an urgent challenge: replacing thousands of devices with 4G/5G routers in a short timeframe, while maintaining operational continuity and ensuring cybersecurity.

Traditional manual replacement and configuration processes are slow, resource-intensive, and pose significant security risks, as they often require direct access to critical infrastructure by third-party technicians.

The solution: NEVERHACK x Infosim®

To address this challenge, NEVERHACK and Infosim® have joined forces to deliver a comprehensive, secure, and scalable solution tailored for Operational Technology (OT) environments, such as electrical transformation centres.

By combining the StableNet® platform from Infosim® with NEVERHACK’s cybersecurity expertise, organisations can remotely manage and provision thousands of devices—automatically and securely.

Key features of the joint solution:

1. Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
2. Routers automatically configure themselves upon startup. Only physical replacement is performed on-site—everything else is handled remotely.
3. Security by design
4. No need for direct access via SSH, Telnet, or serial ports, effectively reducing attack surfaces and safeguarding critical infrastructure.
5. Multi-vendor, multi-model compatibility
6. Designed to operate across diverse hardware ecosystems.
7. Centralised and scalable management
8. Enables firmware updates, configuration changes, and full monitoring of large-scale device fleets from a single platform.

A real-world deployment in Spain

In a recent pilot project with a major energy provider in Spain, the joint solution was successfully validated using ruggedised industrial routers designed for extreme environments: heat, humidity, electromagnetic interference, and dust.

The result: a fully automated, secure, and scalable deployment, aligned with the operational and regulatory requirements of the Spanish energy sector—minimising downtime and risk.

A collaborative ecosystem

1. Infosim®, a leading provider of network and service management solutions, delivers the automation and visibility capabilities through its StableNet® platform.
2. NEVERHACK, as the official representative, integrator, and distributor of Infosim® in Spain, provides cybersecurity consultancy, implementation, and technical support, ensuring that the solution meets the highest standards for critical infrastructure protection.

NEVERHACK: Your cyber perfomance partner

Digitalising national energy infrastructure cannot rely on outdated, manual, or insecure practices. The joint solution from NEVERHACK and Infosim® offers a smart, secure, and efficient path forward — accelerating the deployment of modern connectivity while safeguarding critical assets.
