Insights
This contract win with a major F500 energy producer represents a significant milestone for CSPI's ARIA division. The deployment across 30+ plants indicates a substantial multi-facility deal in a critical infrastructure sector. The timing is particularly strategic given the heightened focus on energy sector cybersecurity amid increasing geopolitical tensions and regulatory scrutiny.
The ARIA AZT PROTECT solution addresses a important market gap by offering automated protection against sophisticated threats like zero-day malware and nation-state attacks. The emphasis on legacy system compatibility and regulatory compliance positions CSPI favorably for additional energy sector contracts. While specific contract values aren't disclosed, energy sector cybersecurity deals typically command premium pricing due to critical infrastructure requirements.
This implementation marks a significant shift in how energy producers approach cybersecurity. The selection by a major independent power producer validates ARIA's solution in a sector that has traditionally been conservative in adopting new security technologies. The ability to protect both legacy and modern systems across different types of power plants - from coal to nuclear - addresses a critical pain point in the industry.
The regulatory compliance aspect is particularly valuable as energy operators face intensifying oversight and security requirements. The automated nature of the solution also helps address the sector's persistent staffing challenges, potentially making this a model for other energy producers to follow.
Large growing independent retail energy producer begins to deploy ARIA AZT PROTECT across its footprint of over 30 plants
BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 21, 2024 / ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions, a CSPi business (NASDAQ:CSPi) a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions announced a new customer in the energy sector.
ARIA's AZT PROTECT™ zero trust solution provides a lock-down approach to protecting critical infrastructure applications from attack, focusing on stopping all forms of zero-day malware, ransomware as well as nation-state-backed attacks on these applications and the operating systems on which they run. Ensuring the highest level of protection for critical infrastructure.
The Energy Sector is one of the most targeted industries and has been hit hard by zero-day malware and ransomware which today's cybersecurity solutions struggle to stop. Since the war in Ukraine, nation-state-sponsored attacks have also focused on this sector's critical infrastructure which bypasses today's leading protection measures.
The AZT PROTECT™ solution utilizes AI-based countermeasures to stop both categories of attacks as they land on each plant's most vulnerable critical production control systems. These countermeasures lock down critical production applications from adulteration while stopping code-based attacks such as malware and ransomware from executing. Furthermore, they disrupt the techniques nation-state attackers utilize to land, expand, and then escalate privileges to take control of such systems.
"Energy providers need a better approach to providing cybersecurity. Today's approaches are too complex for most plant operators to deploy, let alone effectively staff and operate 24x7. AZT PROTECT™ has solved this by offering a fully automated system that can be deployed quickly to provide proven round-the-clock protection" said Gary Southwell Chief Executive of the ARIA HPP Division of CSP Inc. "This large energy producer chose AZT PROTECT™ because it's custom-built for their OT environments, running as effectively on legacy equipment in gas and coal-fired operations as it is in modern locked-down air-gapped nuclear power plants. While allowing energy operators to stay compliant with increasingly stringent regulatory and industry requirements."
