When those control paths are compromised, the consequences extend far beyond data loss to affect millions of people who depend on essential services. - SCADA compromise - Ransomware in EMS - Third-party vendor access - DER and smart-meter risk Schedule a Demo[Back to Control](/solutions/control) ![Electrical grid control room with transmission pylons beyond](/assets/sector-square-energy-41JUMkCc.jpg) Exposure How it worksExplore moreQuestions The exposure in numbers 01 SCADA path isolation from corporate IT 100% SCADA path isolation from corporate IT 02 Persistent remote access to control systems Zero Persistent remote access to control systems 03 Control modules deployed per utility zone 6 Control modules deployed per utility zone 04 NIS2 and NERC CIP compliance evidence Full NIS2 and NERC CIP compliance evidence The Challenge ## Utility control systems face converging threats. 01 ### IT/OT Convergence Smart grid modernisation creates network paths between corporate IT and operational technology that attackers traverse to reach control systems. 02 ### Legacy SCADA Systems Decades-old SCADA and RTU equipment lacks modern security capabilities and cannot be patched without risking operational disruption. 03 ### Smart Meter Attack Surface Advanced metering infrastructure creates millions of network endpoints that expand the attack surface into previously isolated distribution networks. Utilities > When utility control systems are reachable from corporate networks or the internet, every software vulnerability becomes a potential service disruption affecting millions of people. The Scenario ### Scenario: Smart Grid Supply Chain Attack Attackers compromise a firmware update server for smart meter head-end systems. The malicious update propagates to distribution management systems through the AMI network, eventually reaching SCADA workstations via shared network segments. Operators lose visibility into distribution grid status across an entire region. Restoration takes nine days because backup SCADA configurations were stored on network-attached infrastructure that was also compromised. With Control, the AMI network is physically separated from SCADA systems. Verified control-plane baselines are held on infrastructure that has no live network path to production and require multi-party authorisation to release. The compromised firmware cannot traverse into control systems because the network path does not exist. "Our penetration test showed that from a compromised smart meter head-end, there were only three hops to the SCADA master. Three hops between a meter and the ability to open breakers across the distribution network." Module deployment · utility network ## Where each Control module is deployed across a utility network. Utility estates run along the Purdue model: cloud and corporate at the top, an industrial DMZ in the middle, supervisory and basic control below it, and the physical plant at the bottom. Control puts a real boundary at every level so a problem on one side does not become a problem on the others.

### Sovereign Grid Data All utility control data remains within the agreed jurisdiction in NATO-approved Firevault Bunkers, ensuring sovereign control over national energy infrastructure data. 02 ### Multi-Party Control Critical operations require authorisation from both control room operators and security teams, preventing unilateral access to grid control systems. 03 ### Regulatory Evidence Automated compliance logging generates continuous evidence for NIS2, NERC CIP, and Ofgem security requirements. 04 ### Cellular Failover Out-of-band management ensures control plane access even when primary utility communications networks are compromised. 05 ### Tamper-Proof Logging Every access, configuration change, and control command is recorded in immutable logs on physically separate infrastructure. 06 ### Verified Configuration Baselines Verified baselines of all grid configuration enable restoration of control-plane state during total compromise scenarios. Demo to Live ## Adoption Guide Step 1 #### Utility Network Assessment Map all network paths between corporate IT, SCADA, AMI, and distribution management systems to identify convergence points and persistent connections. Step 2 #### Zone Architecture Design Design physically separated zones aligned to your utility operations with appropriate Control modules at each boundary. Step 3 #### Non-Production Pilot Deploy in a test environment mirroring your SCADA architecture with full zone separation, multi-party authorisation, and compliance logging. Step 4 #### Operational Deployment Full deployment across utility infrastructure with verified configuration baselines, continuous compliance evidence, and 24/7 out-of-band management.
