Water Utilities
A new line of defense for the unique and diverse critical OT and IT environments of the water utility sector. Protecting assets from the physical layer up.

Water infrastructure presents attackers with the opportunity for catastrophic physical harm. Manipulation of chemical dosing systems or SCADA command nodes can endanger public health at scale. FireBreak™ uses patented Layer 1 isolation to render these critical assets completely invisible and unreachable to remote adversaries, going beyond software-only defenses that can be bypassed by zero-day exploits.
By integrating with the existing security stack via a RESTful API, a high-confidence digital alert triggers immediate, hardware-enforced physical isolation in milliseconds. Fast to deploy, non-disruptive, and fully compliant with NIS2, ISO 27001, and national CNI requirements, with immutable logs supporting audit readiness.
Water infrastructure presents attackers with the opportunity for catastrophic physical harm — manipulation of chemical dosing systems or SCADA nodes endangers public health at scale.
Over 145,000 ICS/OT systems are exposed online globally. Many water utilities rely on legacy SCADA, PLCs, and DCS equipment that cannot be easily patched.
The convergence of IT and OT networks creates pathways for lateral movement from administrative systems into kinetic control environments.
Software-only defenses can be bypassed by zero-day exploits targeting SCADA systems.
Third-party SCADA vendor access creates persistent connectivity risks.
Chemical treatment and pump control systems require strict access governance.
NIS2, ISO 27001, and national CNI frameworks require demonstrable segmentation and resilience.
Patented Layer 1 isolation renders SCADA command nodes and chemical dosing systems completely invisible and unreachable — the digital target is eliminated entirely.
Integrates with the existing security stack via a RESTful API. A high-confidence alert triggers hardware-enforced physical isolation in milliseconds.
Chemical feed control servers only connect for scheduled updates or authorized maintenance. Outside these windows, the physical link is entirely severed.
IT/OT segmentation: even if a phishing attack compromises an IT server, FireBreak™ prevents lateral movement to pump stations or chemical treatment systems.
Pre-scheduled, single-use connection windows for SCADA vendor firmware updates. Access is automatically severed upon completion.
Immutable FireBreak™ logs demonstrate precise connection times, authorized personnel, and termination events to regulatory auditors.
