Critical Infrastructure & Utilities

In utilities, water and energy, availability and safety outrank confidentiality. Every control has to be designed on that basis — including the ones that contain an active intrusion.

Constraints we design around

• Control systems that cannot be patched outside a scheduled outage, sometimes years apart
• Vendor agreements that prohibit installing software on the device
• Equipment commissioned before network security was a design input
• Regulatory obligations that require demonstrating a control, not merely having one

What we deploy

Passive discovery and protocol-aware monitoring across the OT estate, strict IT/OT boundary enforcement with inspected conduits, and cell-level segmentation so an intrusion in one zone does not become an intrusion in the plant. Automated containment is deployed only where it is provably safe, with explicit never-isolate asset classes for anything safety-related.

Working alongside operations

Nothing is deployed against control systems without the operations team in the room. We work to the outage calendar, not around it, and every change has a rehearsed rollback.
