CISA and the FBI have issued urgent alerts regarding active cyberattacks targeting exposed Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) across public water, wastewater, and energy utilities. Attackers are altering credentials, changing IP configurations, and locking out municipal operators.
Public Utility & OT Hardening
Protecting Water, Sewer, and Electric Infrastructure
Operational Technology (OT) demands zero-tolerance security. We isolate critical SCADA networks, eliminate vendor backdoors, and enforce hardware-level safeguards to keep your utility compliant and resilient.
⚠️ CISA Advisory & Compliance Readiness
Federal agencies are actively warning public utilities about exposed PLCs and SCADA remote access tools. We help municipal utilities close critical vulnerabilities before an incident occurs.
✅ Complete Network Isolation
✅ Vendor Backdoor Audits
✅ Physical Panel Audits
✅ Outbound-Only MFA Remote Access
🔒 Hardware & Physical Isolation
Firewalls are only half the battle. We perform physical control panel checks to verify PLC processor key modes (forcing hardware RUN locks), audit field connections, and eliminate unmonitored cellular modems.
🌐 Secure Third-Party Access
Convenience should never compromise safety. We broker all vendor, engineer, and integrator connections through outbound-initiated, encrypted gateways protected by mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
🛡️ Real Security Without Operational Friction
Securing operational infrastructure does not mean stopping daily work. Our OT hardening strategy protects your core assets while keeping operator controls responsive and efficient.
