Uninterrupted Operations. Uncompromising Security.
Critical infrastructure operators face a threat landscape unlike any other sector - nation-state actors, ransomware targeting OT systems, and aging legacy equipment that cannot be easily patched. Dark Rock delivers security programs built for environments where availability is paramount.
Industry Challenges
OT/IT convergence risk: As operational technology systems connect to corporate IT networks, the attack surface expands dramatically - legacy SCADA systems and PLCs were never designed for internet-connected environments.
Legacy system security: Industrial equipment running decade-old operating systems cannot accept standard patching cycles, requiring compensating controls and network segmentation strategies to reduce exposure.
NIST CSF compliance complexity: Implementing a risk-based security framework across distributed operational sites with varied asset inventories requires specialized methodology and sector-specific control mappings.
24/7 availability requirements: Unlike IT environments, OT systems cannot be taken offline for maintenance windows - security operations must account for continuous uptime demands across all monitoring and response activities.
Supply chain and third-party risk: Industrial control system vendors, system integrators, and remote support vendors represent significant supply chain risk that is difficult to assess using standard vendor review processes.
