OMICRON is pleased to announce the release of StationGuard GridOps 2.15, now available to all customers as part of the OMICRON Threat Intelligence (OTI) service package. This update comes with major enhancements to the GridOps Vulnerability Database, new security fixes, and refreshed configuration resources for StationGuard Sensor—giving OT security teams more insight, more accuracy, and more automation than ever before.
A More Powerful Vulnerability Database – With this release, GridOps delivers its most comprehensive vulnerability intelligence yet. The updated vulnerability database includes:
- 191 newly added security advisories
- 321 updated advisories, reflecting the latest vendor and industry information
- An increase of more than 700 total vulnerability entries, bringing the database to over 15,900 entries
This expanded dataset provides deeper visibility into risks affecting protection relays, SCADA components, RTUs, IEDs, and other critical OT assets. With more detailed mappings and broader coverage, GridOps helps you pinpoint which vulnerabilities matter—and which do not—ensuring your security efforts stay focused and effective.
Security Fixes and Hardening Enhancements – As part of the update, GridOps 2.15 includes important vulnerability fixes and internal security improvements. OMICRON strongly encourages users to keep all components fully up to date to maintain the highest level of protection.

- Updated Configuration Resources for StationGuard Sensor
To complement the GridOps enhancements, OMICRON has also released new configuration resources for StationGuard Sensor, designed to improve detection fidelity, reduce false positives, and streamline operational workflows.
Suricata Ruleset (Updated) - These updated OT‑focused Suricata rules help identify malicious and suspicious network activity earlier, improving response times and increasing confidence in alert quality. With these rules, StationGuard Sensor becomes even more effective at spotting intrusions, anomalies, and protocol‑specific threats.
Device Role Template Library (DRTL) – The enhanced role template library introduces predefined, OT‑relevant device roles that:
- Improve accuracy of asset classification
- Enhance network visibility
- Reduce false positives
- Strengthen security analysis and root‑cause investigations
Still Running StationGuard Sensor Without GridOps? – StationGuard Sensor already provides powerful detection, protocol‑aware anomaly monitoring, and precise device identification. But GridOps amplifies these capabilities by adding:
- Centralized alert analysis across multiple sensors
- Vulnerability management with precise asset‑to‑advisory matching
- Cross‑team workflow integration and streamlined SOC/SIEM connections
- Historical context for incidents, assets, and vulnerabilities
If you’re using StationGuard Sensor alone, upgrading your deployment with GridOps unlocks significant situational awareness and operational efficiency.
