Energy Sector

DoD-grade IT/OT security for energy operators that can't fail.

Generation, transmission, and distribution environments demand security that respects operational reality — change windows, safety systems, and uptime requirements.

Threat Landscape

What energy operators face today

Nation-State Targeting

Advanced persistent threats specifically targeting energy generation, grid operations, and SCADA systems.

IT/OT Convergence Risk

Expanding connectivity between enterprise IT and operational technology creates new attack surfaces.

Ransomware on OT

Ransomware operators increasingly target industrial control systems for maximum leverage.

Supply Chain Exposure

Third-party vendors, remote access, and firmware updates introduce risk into operational environments.

Regulatory Pressure

Evolving compliance requirements demand continuous evidence of security controls and readiness.

Aging Infrastructure

Legacy systems and protocols with limited security capabilities require creative protection strategies.
