To secure the distributed energy
infrastructure powering the AI
revolution through AI-driven, power-
aware cybersecurity solutions
VISION
To be the global leader in cybersecurity for AI-powered energy infrastructure, ensuring that AI-driven data centers, microgrids, and DER ecosystems remain resilient, secure, and future-proof against emerging cyber threats.
CORE VALUES
Innovation
We push the boundaries of AI-powered security to develop next-generation cybersecurity solutions for energy systems. Our patented power-aware threat detection sets us apart from traditional IT security.
Security First
Cybersecurity is not an afterthought—it is a fundamental pillar of energy resilience. We ensure zero-trust security architecture across cloud, edge, and AI-powered DERs.
Reliability & Resilience
AI workloads demand 24/7 uptime—we ensure energy systems stay online and uncompromised.
Our solutions predict, detect, and neutralize threats before they cause disruptions.
Energy & AI Synergy
We understand that AI infrastructure is only as strong as its power source. We secure the intersection of AI, energy, and cybersecurity, ensuring long-term sustainability.
Customer & Industry Commitment
We collaborate with utilities, AI hyperscalers, and DER operators to provide tailored security solutions. We align with global cybersecurity & energy standards (NERC CIP, IEEE 1547, FERC 2222).
Integrity & Trust
We are committed to transparency, compliance, and ethical cybersecurity practices. Our customers trust us to protect their mission-critical energy operations from emerging threats.
