Energy & Utilities Cybersecurity
Protect Critical Infrastructure with Evidence-Based Application Control
The Challenge
Energy and utilities providers manage complex IT and OT environments where continuous system availability is critical. Disruption in this sector affects cities, hospitals, transportation systems, and emergency services. Modern attacks targeting energy and utilities increasingly avoid obvious malware. Instead, adversaries abuse legitimate, trusted tools already present in IT and OT environments: RMM platforms, signed drivers, maintenance utilities, and scripting engines to move laterally and position for ransomware or operational disruption.
How MagicSword Addresses It
MagicSword helps energy and utilities teams control the tools attackers abuse with policies designed for their environments. MagicSword enforces execution control across control center endpoints, engineering workstations, field service systems, vendor-access environments, and IT/OT bridge systems using continuously updated intelligence-driven blocklisting.
