Energy
See Your Energy Infrastructure From the Internet.
Utilities, oil and gas operators and renewables firms draw state-sponsored groups for strategic reasons and ransomware operators because downtime is expensive. Remote access to plants, terminals and field sites pushes the internet-facing edge past the corporate IT footprint.
The Deepinfo Platform scans everything reachable under your name, ranks vulnerabilities by exploitation signal and extends that scanning to your suppliers and contractors.
- Asset discovery: at a field site, the cabin at a wind turbine’s foot, on a range nobody inventoried: 203.0.113.0/24, not in inventory.
- Continuous scanning: in the plant’s control room, a management interface: plant.utility.example, 8443/tcp newly open, high, caught between two scans.
- Risk detection: at the terminal, the remote desktop gateway beside the tanks: terminal.utility.example, 3389/tcp · RDP open, critical.
- Risk scoring: in corporate IT’s server room, the VPN gateway: vpn.utility.example: CVE-2021-44228, CVSS 10, listed in CISA KEV, critical.
- Cyber Threat Intelligence: in the plant office, an engineer’s infected laptop: remote.utility.example login, in an infostealer log.
- Brand Risk Protection: outside the site, a sign aping the operator’s own that is not yours: utility-vpn.example, lookalike · contains.
- Third-Party Risk Management: at the field site, a maintenance contractor’s van and an equipment maker’s service container, drawn dashed because they are not yours: field-contractor.example, graded C; turbine-maker.example, graded B, each linked to utility.example.
Where the Energy Surface Outgrows IT.
Remote access
Gateways for the Field
VPN gateways, remote desktop and vendor support portals opened for sites and field teams. Each one is a login page on the internet.
Site sprawl
Plants and Joint Ventures
Plants, terminals, regional subsidiaries and joint ventures each add domains and IP ranges the central team may never see.
Exposed services
Ports Nobody Meant to Open
Management interfaces and services answering on public addresses, sometimes on ranges nobody has inventoried.
Suppliers
Connections From Outside
Equipment makers, integrators and maintenance contractors with remote connections into your environment.
What Each Layer Tells an Energy Operator.
External Attack Surface Management scans every approved asset layer by layer and keeps each layer’s history. On an energy surface, these are the questions the layers answer.
| Ports | Which services answer on TCP and UDP ports, and whether a new one opened since the last scan |
|---|---|
| Web data | Which login pages and technologies sit on site and vendor portals, end-of-life versions included |
| SSL | Which certificates on remote-access gateways have expired or are about to |
| DNS | Which hostnames point where, and when that changed |
| HTTP | Response headers and status codes, host by host |
| WHOIS, IP WHOIS | Who registered a domain and which network owns an address, to tie a stray range to a site or a supplier |
Patch in the Order Attackers Exploit.
CVSS says how severe a vulnerability could be. EPSS estimates the probability it will be exploited in the next 30 days, and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog lists the ones already exploited.
The platform puts all of them on each CVE found on your assets, so an exploited vulnerability on a remote-access gateway rises to the top. In the vulnerability index, a CISA KEV entry also records whether the CVE is known to be used in ransomware campaigns.

Questions About Deepinfo in Energy
Does the platform scan our OT networks?
No. It sees what is reachable from the internet: domains, subdomains, IP addresses and the services answering on them. If an operational interface answers on a public address, it shows up as an open port with the service behind it.
Is the scanning intrusive?
No. Standard monitoring runs no authenticated scans, no exploit attempts and no load tests. Port scans and web requests reach only what a host already exposes to the internet.
Can we monitor IP addresses that have no domain?
Yes. IP addresses are an asset type of their own, next to domains and subdomains, so an address at a site or a field gateway can be added and scanned like any other asset.
Can we be alerted when a new port opens?
Yes. A newly open port on a monitored asset is a notification event, sent instantly or in an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly digest to the team members a rule names.
How are equipment suppliers and contractors covered?
Each supplier becomes a portfolio in Third-Party Risk Management, starting from its primary domain. The platform discovers its internet-facing assets, scans them across the layers it checks on your assets, and scores them on your scale.
Does the platform map to energy-sector security regulations?
Not as a classification. Energy rules differ by country and by the part of the grid or supply chain you operate, while the platform classifies issues against general frameworks such as OWASP Top 10 2021 and CWE. What it adds for an audit is a dated record of each issue, from first detection to verified resolved.
