What does BlastWave do for energy companies?

BlastWave provides Zero Trust OT cybersecurity for energy companies by protecting power plants, oil and gas sites, smart grids, pipelines, substations, and renewable energy infrastructure from cyber threats.

How does BlastWave protect critical energy infrastructure?

BlastWave protects critical energy infrastructure through network cloaking, passwordless MFA, secure remote access, granular segmentation, microsegmentation, and identity-based access controls that limit unauthorized access and lateral movement.

What is network cloaking for energy OT environments?

Network cloaking hides critical OT assets such as SCADA systems, DCS environments, substations, and control systems from unauthorized users. This helps prevent attackers from discovering targets during reconnaissance.

Why is passwordless MFA important for energy cybersecurity?

Passwordless MFA helps prevent phishing and credential theft by removing passwords from the access process. This is especially important for remote energy sites, third-party contractors, and distributed operations.

How does BlastWave support secure remote access for energy operations?

BlastWave enables secure remote access for maintenance, monitoring, and control of distributed energy assets such as substations, pipelines, power generation facilities, and renewable energy sites. Access can be restricted by user, device, system, protocol, and operational need.

How does BlastWave help reduce lateral movement in energy networks?

BlastWave uses segmentation and microsegmentation to create secure zones and conduits. This limits communication between systems and helps contain cyberattacks before they spread across IT and OT environments.

Can BlastWave help protect legacy OT devices?

Yes. BlastWave can help protect legacy OT devices that cannot be easily patched or upgraded by placing network-layer access controls around them and reducing their exposure to unauthorized users and systems.

How does BlastWave help energy companies address AI-powered threats?

BlastWave helps counter AI-powered threats by hiding critical assets from reconnaissance, enforcing strong passwordless authentication, and reducing the attack paths that automated or AI-assisted attackers could exploit.

What energy use cases does BlastWave support?

BlastWave supports power generation, SCADA and DCS protection, remote substations, transmission lines, wind and solar sites, smart grid infrastructure, IoT and IIoT protection, secure vendor access, and regulatory compliance initiatives.

Yes. BlastWave supports energy cybersecurity compliance efforts by enabling segmentation, access control, audit trails, reporting, and Zero Trust architecture aligned with standards and frameworks such as NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and NIST.

How To Secure Energy OT Networks with BlastWave

Step 1: Identify critical energy assets

Start by identifying the systems that are most important to safe and reliable energy operations. These may include SCADA systems, DCS environments, substations, pipelines, smart grid components, control systems, and renewable energy site infrastructure.

Step 2: Cloak critical systems from unauthorized users

Use network cloaking to make sensitive energy OT assets invisible to unauthorized users and devices. This reduces reconnaissance risk and removes exposed attack paths before attackers can target them.

Step 3: Replace password-based access with passwordless MFA

Eliminate passwords from critical OT access workflows. Use passwordless MFA to reduce phishing, credential theft, and unauthorized access risk for employees, contractors, vendors, and remote maintenance teams.

Step 4: Segment IT and OT environments

Create secure zones and conduits between IT and OT systems. Limit communication to only the users, devices, applications, and protocols that are required for operations.

Step 5: Enforce least-privilege remote access

Give remote users access only to the specific systems they need, only when they need them. Apply access controls to maintenance teams, operators, engineers, vendors, and third-party contractors.

Step 6: Protect legacy and unpatchable OT devices

Use network-layer controls to safeguard legacy devices that cannot run endpoint agents, modern security tools, or frequent patches. Reduce their exposure without disrupting operations.

Step 7: Monitor and audit OT access

Maintain audit trails and reporting for remote access, privileged access, segmentation policies, and system connections. Use this visibility to support compliance and security assessments.

Step 8: Build resilience against AI-powered cyberattacks

Prepare for faster, more automated attacks by denying unauthorized access by default, hiding critical assets, and limiting lateral movement across energy networks.
