14,000

14,000 miles + 240 control points monitored

The challenge

Following the TSA pipeline-security directives + Colonial Pipeline incident, a pipeline operator faced significantly increased OT cybersecurity requirements. Existing tooling was insufficient.

What we built

OT-specific cybersecurity stack with passive monitoring (Dragos), threat-detection rules tuned for pipeline ICS protocols, IT/OT bridge for incident escalation. TSA directive control mapping.

Outcomes

TSA directive compliance: continuous + audit-ready
OT-incident detection: days → minutes
Cross-segment threat-intel sharing
14,000 miles + 240 control points monitored
