Infrastructure
Ransomware, OT failures at a CHP plant, in a water network or at an oil and gas distributor can cause prolonged service disruption, cutting water or energy to thousands of users. Each hour of downtime in critical infrastructure is estimated to cost from hundreds of thousands to several million złoty. With our extensive experience we help you enhance protection levels in critical infrastructure whilst following industry best practice.
Use cases
- Industrial device monitoring – anomaly detection at pump stations, substations and farms
- Incident response – "black start" procedures and playbooks for isolating infected network segments
- Critical site audit – assessment of processes, their effectiveness and compliance (e.g. with NIS2)
- Infrastructure hardening – enhance ransomware resilience, strengthen backups (offline, immutable), load testing
- OT/ICS network segmentation – firewalls with DPI for Modbus, DNP3, Profinet
- Training for station and control room staff – phishing, removable media controls, remote access rules

How we help infrastructure
Why is infrastructure targeted?
Downtime in critical infrastructure affects national security and imposes significant social costs, increasing pressure to pay ransomware demands. Many device controllers operate for decades without security updates and remote access is often weakly protected. These are just examples of why infrastructure systems may be easier targets than modern IT.
Infrastructure threat examples
Threats:
- Ransomware / wiper – encrypting or destroying process data
- Supply chain sabotage – malicious firmware delivered or triggered by third parties
- Unauthorised remote access – default passwords, no VPN or poorly configured VPN
- Attacks on "field" infrastructure – taking over devices, transmission or control
How we help the infrastructure industry
- We audit the security of critical sites and OT/IT networks
- We build Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
- We support development of security management procedures
- We create documentation to formalise processes that increase security
- We perform penetration tests for industrial protocols
- We design segmentation and zero trust architecture
- We deliver incident management services
- We support NIS2 (UoKSC) compliance and reporting
- We develop business continuity plans (BCP/DR)
