In 2013, the Bowman Avenue Dam, just 20 miles from New York City, became an early warning for U.S. critical infrastructure cybersecurity. Iranian-attributed actors gained access to gate controls, sensors, firmware data, and other operational details using basic reconnaissance and straightforward network probing. The attack was not sophisticated; the real weakness was visibility.
BlastWave would have prevented that exposure. Network cloaking creates a logical air gap that makes SCADA systems invisible, unreachable, and unscannable from unauthorized networks or the public internet. No exposed targets, no reconnaissance, and no unauthorized access—because attackers cannot compromise systems they cannot see in practice today.
