Latency-Neutral Passive Cyber Monitoring for Grid-Edge Operational Technology Networks
Research demonstrates that passive cyber monitoring can be deployed on deterministic grid-edge OT networks without degrading microsecond control-loop timing — eliminating a key barrier to energy-sector NIS2 compliance.

arXiv:2610.28324v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deterministic industrial networks often present an operational trade-off between maintaining microsecond timing of primary control loops and capturing security telemetry. This work investigates the engineering feasibility of the Operational Technology Supervisor (OTSV), a three-tier passive monitoring framework designed to resolve this visibility challenge within timing-sensitive grid-edge infrastructure. By utilizing a Layer-3-unconfigured pass
Editorial Analysis
European energy operators under NIS2 must implement monitoring but have resisted it on deterministic OT segments due to timing concerns; this work removes that objection.
Pilot latency-neutral passive monitoring on a representative grid-edge OT segment to validate feasibility before broader NIS2 compliance rollout.
Passive OT monitoring can now be deployed without disrupting critical grid timing — removing a key barrier to NIS2 compliance in energy.
