Convergence & Vulnerability

Securing The Connected Energy Attack Surface

The modern energy sector relies on interconnected remote telemetry, cloud-based asset tracking, and corporate IT networks bridging into operational field technology. Attackers exploit these bridges to compromise critical production operations.

IT/OT Boundary Segmentation

We test the firewalls, jump hosts, and DMZs separating corporate Active Directory from operational technology to ensure breaches cannot cross into production plants.

Remote Telemetry & SCADA

Evaluating cellular gateways, VSAT links, and field RTU protocols (Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA) for authentication weaknesses, replay vulnerabilities, and firmware flaws.

Ransomware Resilience & Active Directory

Simulating sophisticated adversary tactics within corporate networks: Kerberoasting, privilege escalation, and lateral movement targeting critical pipeline management assets.

Regulatory Frameworks

Energy Sector Compliance Rigor

NERC CIP Standards

Assessing Cyber Asset inventories, electronic security perimeters (ESP), system security management, and physical access controls under North American Reliability Corporation rules.

CSA Z246.2 Standard

Auditing emergency preparedness and cybersecurity management for petroleum and natural gas industry pipeline systems in full alignment with Canadian Standards Association criteria.

Alberta PIPA & PIPEDA

Ensuring workforce personal information, field worker monitoring data, and commercial telemetry remain compliant with Alberta and federal Canadian privacy legislation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Energy Cybersecurity FAQ

How do you prevent operational downtime during OT/SCADA testing?

We use passive reconnaissance, safe traffic inspection, and simulated testbed hardware during OT assessments. We never run active exploitation or aggressive port scans against live production PLCs or safety instrumented systems (SIS).

Do your consultants travel to field operations across Alberta?

Yes. Our Calgary-based assessment team deploys on-site to facilities across Alberta - from Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie to Red Deer and Medicine Hat - for physical wireless and internal infrastructure audits.

Can you provide security attestation for Joint Venture partners?

Yes. We provide formal third-party audit reports and Letters of Attestation designed to satisfy energy Joint Venture operating committees and board oversight bodies.
