IT and OT security for Houston's energy sector — from upstream exploration to downstream refining.
Serving Houston's diverse business community — from Midtown startups to Energy Corridor enterprises.
The energy sector is under sustained cyberattack pressure from nation-state actors, ransomware groups, and insider threats. Colonial Pipeline cost the industry $4.4 million in ransom and weeks of supply disruption. We bring enterprise-grade security controls to mid-market energy companies that face the same threats but rarely have the same internal resources.
IT/OT convergence is the defining security challenge of the energy sector right now. As SCADA systems, field sensors, and control networks become IP-connected, the air-gap that historically separated operational technology from internet-facing networks disappears. We design segmented network architectures that let IT and OT communicate where necessary while maintaining isolation where it matters.
Regulatory requirements for energy companies — NERC CIP for bulk electric system operators, TSA pipeline security directives, and sector-specific NIST frameworks — require documented cybersecurity programs with defined controls. We implement those controls and maintain the evidence portfolio your auditors and regulators expect.
Network architecture that connects IT and OT systems where needed while maintaining critical isolation boundaries.
Passive monitoring of OT environments without disrupting control system availability.
Bulk electric system operators: documented controls, evidence management, and audit support.
Energy-sector IR playbooks with CISA notification coordination and OT-specific recovery procedures.
Secure remote access for field operations, well sites, and unmanned facilities.
