From upstream rigs to downstream grids, and from IoT sensors to SCADA controllers — ensure the integrity of every device, component, and line of infrastructure code.
The energy sector is undergoing a profound digital transformation: distributed smart grid sensors, edge-computing for pipelines, remote-monitoring for wells and substations, and the growing convergence of OT and IT. Every new device or sensor adds connectivity and a new attack surface.
But while organizations focus on perimeter security, ICS/SCADA systems, and network controls, a deeper and less visible risk is mounting: firmware, hardware and supply-chain tampering. As Eclypsium research shows, firmware and component-level threats are now central to compliance and resilience programs.
For energy operators, the stakes are enormous:
In short: protecting your energy infrastructure means going beyond firewalls and AV — you must trust the foundation: chips, firmware, devices, and the supply chain.
Smart Grid / Utility Substations
Inventory every device in substations (relays, RTUs, IEDs, edge gateways); verify firmware authenticity; monitor for tampering or drift.
Oil & Gas Upstream / Remote Sites
On-site sensors, control systems and remote infrastructure often run unattended with limited visibility — Eclypsium provides ongoing integrity checks from procurement through decommissioning.
Pipeline Remote Monitoring & Control
Devices along pipelines are vulnerable to supply-chain and firmware risk. With Eclypsium you verify each field device, track third-party components and assure data integrity.
Connected Device Lifecycle Management
From vendor acquisition, through deployment, updates, to retirement — ensure devices are safe to deploy, updates are signed, and de-commissioning leaves no sensitive data behind.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Vendor Risk
When integrating vendor equipment or acquired sites, gain immediate insight into firmware/hardware risk, rather than discovering legacy vulnerabilities post-deployment.
Energy operators face an evolving tapestry of regulatory, safety and risk frameworks such as NERC and CIP. Some of the regulatory requirements that Eclypsium supports are:
Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM)
Many frameworks require identification and mitigation of risks introduced through hardware, firmware or component sourcing.
Firmware/Hardware Integrity Requirements
Standards increasingly demand checks on boot firmware, signed updates, and component authenticity.
Operational Resilience & Critical Infrastructure Protection
Compliance across sectors (incl. utilities) requires visibility into all device components, not just software or network layers.
Audit-Ready Reporting
Eclypsium’s platform delivers the documentation needed for audit, regulatory or internal review periods.
By aligning firmware & supply-chain security with your compliance roadmap, you move from point-in-time checks to continuous assurance — and gain a market differentiator in resilience and trust.
“Eclypsium provides us with the ability to see and act on cyber events at the lowest level of our systems. Their technical capabilities and deep knowledge of firmware are critical to understanding our complete system.“
Eclypsium brings firmware security into the standard enterprise security operations model. Security teams can easily maintain visibility into all their devices, detect active threats, find and remediate weaknesses and prevent runtime attacks.
