Free Scoping CallEnergy & Utilities Vulnerability Intelligence
Energy and utility companies operate the physical infrastructure that powers modern civilization. A successful cyber attack on energy systems can cause blackouts affecting millions and endanger public safety.
SCADA Protocol Exploitation (Modbus/DNP3)
Unauthenticated SCADA protocols (Modbus TCP, DNP3) allowing direct manipulation of industrial processes including valve controls, circuit breakers, and generator operations.
IT/OT Network Convergence Gaps
Insufficient segmentation between corporate IT networks and operational technology (OT) networks enabling lateral movement from compromised office workstations to plant control systems.
Remote Access Trojan (RAT) Deployment
Nation-state actors deploying specialized RATs through spear-phishing campaigns targeting energy sector employees to establish persistent access to grid management systems.
Smart Grid AMI Vulnerabilities

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the timeline for a Manual Exploit Validation project?
Depending on the size of the application or network, it takes 5 to 20 business days on average.
What do we receive at the end of the test?
PoC evidence showing exactly how vulnerabilities are exploited, remediation code, and an executive summary for C-Level management.
How do you ensure data security during the test?
All tests are performed under a strict NDA with the principle of least privilege, and all logs are securely wiped post-engagement.
