Critical Infrastructure Protection

When Nation-State Actors Target Your Operations

Critical infrastructure faces an existential threat. Nation-state adversaries use living off the land techniques to establish long-term persistence within operational networks, positioning for attacks that could disrupt essential services affecting millions of people.

The Threat Is Real and Active

Recent incidents prove the vulnerability:
Hacker at a computer keyboard
Colonial Pipeline

Ransomware using legitimate remote access tools shut down the largest US fuel pipeline for 6 days. Impact: $4.4M ransom paid, national fuel shortage.

Water treatment plant
Florida Water Treatment Plant

Direct attempt to poison water supply using legitimate remote access software (TeamViewer). Impact: Attempted to increase sodium hydroxide levels to dangerous amounts.

Volt Typhoon

Chinese APT currently targeting US critical infrastructure using standard administrative tools and protocols.

The Challenge:

Your operational technology and corporate networks contain legitimate remote access tools, administrative protocols, and management systems. Attackers use these same tools, making them invisible to traditional security monitoring.

Why Traditional Security Fails in Critical Infrastructure

OT/IT Convergence Creates Blind Spots:

As operational and information technology networks converge, new attack paths emerge that traditional tools can’t monitor

Legitimate Tools =
Invisible Attacks:

SCADA communications, remote maintenance sessions, and administrative protocols provide perfect cover for malicious activity

Compliance ≠ Security:

Meeting NERC CIP, ICS-CERT, or other standards doesn’t guarantee detection of sophisticated threats


Nodal’s Critical Infrastructure Defense

Our AI recognizes the behavioral patterns of command and control
communication regardless of the specific tools or protocol used. This means:
Immediate Detection:

No learning period means protection starts day one

Surgical Response:

Automatic disruption targets
only malicious communications, preserving operational continuity

Complete Visibility:

Map entire attack chains
across OT and IT environments

Compliance Support:

Comprehensive audit trails support regulatory requirements

What This Means for Your Operations

  • Detect nation-state persistence techniques
in real-time
  • Automatic disruption without
operational impact
  • Complete visibility into multi-node
attack chains
  • Integration with existing OT security infrastructure
  • Support for air-gapped and isolated networks
