Integrating Cybersecurity and Energy Resilience

Client:

U.S. Army Reserve Command

Challenge

The U.S. Army Reserve relies on secure and resilient infrastructure to support global operations and ensure Soldier readiness. As digital control systems and automation technologies become more integrated with physical infrastructure, the Army Reserve faces increased exposure to cybersecurity risks. At the same time, the requirement to enhance energy and water resilience while improving operational efficiency continues to grow. USARC contracted with Lindahl Reed to address these challenges, protecting its control systems from cyber threats while advancing energy resilience and security.

Our Solution

Lindahl Reed provides enterprise-level support to enable USARC to secure building systems and optimize energy and water operations. Our work bridges two critical mission areas: cybersecurity for Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) and Enterprise Building Control Systems (EBCS), and comprehensive energy/water program management. Key responsibilities include:

  • Protection of Control Systems Against Cyber Threats: Support FRCS and EBCS programs to identify vulnerabilities and implement secure building automation system configurations.
  • Resilience Project Planning and Execution: Assist in the planning, design review, and implementation of energy and water resilience projects across Army Reserve sites.
  • Enterprise Operations with Energy Mandates: Coordinate with HQ and regional commands to ensure compliance with Army and federal energy goals.
  • Cyber Risk Mitigation for Resilience Planning: Integrate cybersecurity risk mitigation into energy resilience planning, project development, and utility system upgrades.
  • Resource Protection Through Lifecycle Analysis: Advise on lifecycle cost and performance-based approaches to strengthen infrastructure planning and resource protection.

Results & Impact

  • Improved Security of Building Automation Systems: Enhanced protection of Army Reserve building control systems through proactive cybersecurity integration.
  • Standardized Secure Infrastructure Enterprise-Wide: Advanced the implementation of secure, standardized control systems across the Army Reserve enterprise.
  • Accelerated Resilience-Aligned Energy Investments: Supported planning efforts that align energy and water investments with Army resilience and cybersecurity objectives.
  • Strengthened Field Execution Through HQ Coordination: Strengthened HQ-to-field coordination and accelerated project execution timelines through structured technical assistance.

Why It Matters

Lindahl Reed’s integrated approach ensures that the Army Reserve’s building systems are cybersecure and resilient. Our work safeguards mission-critical infrastructure, reduces utility costs, and ensures operational continuity, supporting the Army’s readiness across all Army Reserve locations.
