EmberOT: Industrial Cybersecurity for Electric Utilities

Providing continuous insight into status, vulnerabilities, and threats in the
energy sector.

The electric utility industry has found itself at a crossroads — new technologies support a more distributed system of small-scale generators, renewable energy installations, and energy efficiency strategies. These technological advances have enabled utility companies to take instances of reliability, security, and efficiency into their own hands. But they can also enable cyber attacks on energy infrastructure.

Essential Services. Vulnerable Targets.

Electric utility companies provide essential services for citizens and corporations alike. As such, electric utilities are one of the top three utility sectors targeted for cyber attacks in the United States. In recent years, electric power companies have reported a continuous barrage of incidents related to critical infrastructure. Amidst a technological shift in the electric utility sector, companies are finding it more and more challenging to protect not only their infrastructure, data, and consumers, but also their workers.

We all know that you can’t
defend what you don’t see.

Traditional tools make operators’ daily tasks difficult, leaving electric utility environments more open to the likelihood of an attack. EmberOT lights the way with a guiding ember that exposes hidden assets and threats so you can secure your grid with confidence.

Any Electric Utility
OT Security Challenges:

  • Lack visibility at the edge (Purdue Level 1/2)
  • Disparate sites with inconsistent monitoring
  • Bandwidth constraints and connectivity issues hinder real‑time insight
  • Hardware and environmental constraints limit device/software deployment.
  • Reactive firefighting leaves no time for proactive efforts.

Visibility. Security. Compliance.

EmberOT isn’t a SIEM or a single pane of glass. It’s a vendor‑neutral platform that gathers and enriches OT data from every corner of your grid and feeds it into the tools you already use.

Our hyper‑efficient Ember sensor slips onto your existing infrastructure, whether it’s DIN‑rail gear, a virtual machine, or a container, turning any device into a beacon of insight. This lightweight approach slashes total cost of ownership and accelerates your path to real‑time visibility, security, and compliance.

Add Visibility & Reduce Risks

Add Visibility & Reduce Risks

Offer your OT team comprehensive visibility.

  • Reveal every edge devices risk quantification and its vulnerabilities in real time.
  • Process and prioritize behavior‑based threats locally, cutting noise.
  • Stream curated insights into existing tools such as any SIEM, SOAR, or MSSP for seamless integration.
Real-Time Monitoring & Defense

Real-Time Monitoring & Defense

Secure your operations and respond instantly.

  • Identify cyber and operational threats as they emerge by tracking asset and flow behaviors.
  • Skip noisy anomaly alerts and get only critical, behavior‑based warnings.
  • Run detection at the edge for uninterrupted protection even on low‑bandwidth links.
Meet Compliance & Regulation

Meet Compliance & Regulation

Prove and maintain regulatory compliance.

  • Create audit‑ready asset behavior profiles and packet captures for NERC, FERC, and NIS requirements.
  • Deliver precise, behavior‑based detections alongside compliance data into your existing workflows.
  • Continuously demonstrate regulatory controls with real‑time evidence of security and operational health.

Utilities care about their systems being and staying up.

Keeping your systems running is non‑negotiable, and you know your environment best. EmberOT acts as your guiding ember, empowering you with the insights you need to keep operations running without compromise.
