Energy and utility organizations are the second most targeted critical infrastructure sector globally, with 78% experiencing cyberattacks annually and OT breaches averaging $6.4M. Nation-states, ransomware groups, and hacktivists are actively probing power grids, pipelines, and SCADA systems. CyberSilo delivers unified IT/OT threat visibility, ICS-aware AI detection, and automated NERC CIP compliance — so your operations stay online and your regulators stay satisfied.
Power grids, oil pipelines, water treatment plants, and renewable energy installations are prime targets for nation-state actors, ransomware groups, and ideologically motivated hacktivists. A successful attack on critical infrastructure can cascade far beyond the energy sector — affecting hospitals, emergency services, and entire economies.
Get a free IT/OT security assessment and discover your ICS attack surface before adversaries do.
From air-gapped SCADA systems to cloud-connected smart meters, the energy sector's unique IT/OT convergence creates attack surfaces that generic security platforms were never designed to defend.
As energy organizations connect operational technology networks to enterprise IT, corporate systems, and the cloud, they create pathways that attackers exploit to move from email compromise to SCADA intrusion. Most SIEMs cannot ingest or interpret industrial protocol traffic, leaving critical blind spots across the IT/OT boundary.
ThreatHawk SIEMProgrammable logic controllers, remote terminal units, and human-machine interfaces running legacy firmware are frequently internet-adjacent, unpatched, and operating without endpoint agents. Continuous exposure monitoring of these assets is essential but operationally constrained by the zero-downtime requirements of live production environments.
Threat Exposure MonitoringAdvanced persistent threat groups — including Sandworm, Volt Typhoon, and XENOTIME — specifically target energy sector ICS environments using custom malware like TRITON, Industroyer, and PIPEDREAM. Detecting these highly sophisticated, slow-moving campaigns requires real-time threat intelligence correlated against energy sector-specific attack patterns.
ThreatSearch TIPEnergy sector ransomware attacks — like the Colonial Pipeline incident — demonstrate that financially motivated threat actors are willing to shut down critical energy infrastructure to extort payment. Detecting ransomware staging activity in IT networks before it crosses into OT environments is the highest-priority use case for energy SOC teams.
Agentic SOC AINERC CIP reliability standards impose rigorous cybersecurity obligations across 13 standards from asset identification through incident response. Compliance programs require continuous evidence collection, annual assessments, and FERC reporting — consuming enormous analyst resources while leaving insufficient capacity for active threat detection and response.
GRC Compliance AutomationEnergy companies rely on SAP and similar ERP platforms to manage asset maintenance, procurement, financial operations, and work order systems — all of which are linked to operational data. Unauthorized access to or manipulation of ERP systems can disrupt maintenance schedules, enable financial fraud, or provide intelligence enabling physical infrastructure attacks.
SAP GuardianEvery energy sector threat has a purpose-built CyberSilo response — from AI-powered SCADA anomaly detection to automated NERC CIP compliance and SAP ERP security monitoring.
CyberSilo is purpose-built to handle the dual complexity of energy sector cybersecurity — where IT security best practices must coexist with the zero-downtime, safety-critical demands of operational technology. Unlike generic SIEM vendors, our platform ingests industrial protocol traffic (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, OPC-UA) alongside corporate IT logs, providing true unified IT/OT visibility in a single pane of glass.
Our enterprise SIEM platform correlates OT network anomalies with IT security events to detect the lateral movement and staging behavior that precedes ICS attacks — catching threats like ransomware and APT campaigns before they reach operational systems. Our GRC compliance automation eliminates the manual burden of NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and TSA Pipeline Directive evidence collection, keeping your regulatory affairs team audit-ready year-round without diverting security analysts.
Ingests SCADA logs, historian data, ICS network traffic, DCS events, and enterprise IT telemetry — using AI to detect the anomalous OT commands, unauthorized access, and lateral movement that signal an impending grid or pipeline attack.
Explore ThreatHawk SIEMAutomates NERC CIP reliability standard evidence collection across CIP-002 through CIP-014, IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, and TSA Pipeline Directives — delivering real-time compliance dashboards and one-click audit reporting for FERC and regional entities.
Explore GRC PlatformAggregates energy-sector-specific threat intelligence feeds — including ICS-CERT advisories, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and nation-state APT tracking — providing your SOC with real-time IOC enrichment and adversary TTPs mapped to your OT environment.
Explore ThreatSearch TIPNERC CIP reliability standards are among the most complex and prescriptive cybersecurity regulations in any industry — covering everything from BES Cyber System identification and physical security to supply chain risk management and incident response. CyberSilo automates continuous control monitoring across all 13 NERC CIP standards, so your compliance posture is always audit-ready — not just audit-time ready.
Eliminate thousands of analyst hours on manual evidence collection and FERC audit preparation.
From nation-scale power grids and offshore oil platforms to municipal water systems and solar farms — CyberSilo delivers tailored security for every segment of the energy and utilities sector.

Automated playbooks isolate compromised IT segments from OT environments, alert control room operators and SOC teams simultaneously, preserve forensic evidence, and initiate NERC CIP incident reporting workflows — in under 5 minutes.
Live NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, and TSA Pipeline Directive dashboards keep your compliance and regulatory affairs teams audit-ready year-round — with one-click evidence packages for FERC and regional entity submissions.
With a $6.4M average OT breach cost — and grid outages, regulatory fines, and reputational damage amplifying the real total — the ROI of world-class energy sector security is immediate.
A single prevented cyberattack on a power grid or pipeline at the $6.4M industry average — before accounting for regulatory fines, grid restoration costs, reputational damage, and potential FERC penalty orders — dwarfs the annual cost of a full CyberSilo deployment. Energy organizations consistently report positive ROI within the first quarter, driven by breach risk reduction, compliance cost savings, and fewer analyst hours on manual NERC CIP evidence collection.
CISOs, OT security managers, and compliance officers at utilities, pipeline operators, and energy companies rely on CyberSilo to protect their critical infrastructure and satisfy regulators.
"CyberSilo gave us something we had never achieved before — true unified visibility across our IT and OT networks. We detected a nation-state reconnaissance campaign in our SCADA environment that had been active for weeks without triggering any of our legacy tools."
"Our TSA directive compliance process went from a chaotic six-week scramble to a fully automated, always-on dashboard. CyberSilo's GRC automation paid for itself in the first audit cycle alone — our team reclaimed hundreds of hours that now go into actual threat hunting."
"After the Colonial Pipeline attack, our board demanded proof that we couldn't suffer the same fate. CyberSilo deployed across our pipeline OT environments in under two weeks and provided exactly the evidence-based security posture reporting our executive team needed."
