Utilities & Energy

Security testing designed for critical infrastructure and utility environments

Generic testing with limited utilities expertise

Deep understanding of OT, SCADA, substations, smart grids, and control systems

One-size-fits-all IT-centric methodologies

Threat models aligned to nation-state targeting, ransomware, and operational disruption

Standard threat models that overlook infrastructure-specific risks

Manual testing of segmentation between IT and OT environments

Heavy reliance on automated scanners

Evaluates remote access, field devices, and operational technology pathways

Tests limited to corporate IT networks

Scenarios include grid disruption attempts, insider misuse, and access escalation

Limited scenario realism

Remediation guidance tailored to uptime, safety, and regulatory constraints

Generic remediation advice without operational context

Reporting designed for security teams, operations leaders, and regulators

Technical reports lacking operational and compliance nuance

Aligned with utility standards (e.g., NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIST 800-82)

Minimal alignment to critical infrastructure frameworks

Built to protect service continuity and public safety long-term

One-off testing engagements
