Securing the energy sector’s critical infrastructures
We Keep Your Energy Infrastructure & Assets Secure
The energy industry is a high-risk target for cyber-attacks and exploitation. Without comprehensive cybersecurity and industrial computing solutions, your energy infrastructure is vulnerable. That’s why cybersecurity is critical to your outcomes. We have over 30 years of experience in cybersecurity, compliance, and industrial computing solutions. We work with you to understand your compliance needs and help you meet compliance standards such as NERC CIP.
If you distribute power, then we can keep you protected. Energy operations companies, agencies, and utilities rely on our engineering and software expertise. It doesn’t matter if you specialize in electric, fossil fuel, or renewable energy. We can design turnkey solutions to a wide range of operations, including:
- Power grids & microgrids
- Carbon power plants
- Solar fields
- Wind turbine farms
- Hydro
- And more

What We Do
Cybersecurity Patch & Update Management Program
It’s not a secret that cybersecurity can be a tough challenge in IT/OT environments. That’s why we’re the best people for the job. We’re the only cybersecurity company to partner with the US Department of Energy. With regulation, guidance, and standards provided by the DoE, we developed IT/OT cybersecurity in accordance with the Cybersecurity for Energy Delivery Systems (CEDS) program.
Our four-year collaboration with the US Department of Energy led to the development of our Patch and Update Management Program (PUMP). This supports IT and OT assets in four ways: we provide asset inventory, risk intelligence, staff augmentation, and third-party integrations. As part of the program, we also work toward your compliance standards, such as NERC CIP or others.
Patch Management Products & Services
Asset Inventory
Banish uncertainty. We identify and inventory every one of your OT assets with our select set of tools and expert team. Your organization will receive a detailed, normalized report with all your assets, including manufacturer, product name, and version.
Patch Availability Report (PAR)
Know your weaknesses. We create a recurring readable report that details all your vulnerabilities and the patches you need. It’s all done without ever touching your equipment. Our PAR report will be delivered to your security management team every month to help you maintain or work towards regulatory compliance. For more details download our PDF
Patch Applicability
Deploy the right solutions. We take a hands-on approach using your Patch Availability Report to assess all possible solutions. Either remotely or onsite, we make a risk-based assessment to determine what solutions to apply and when.
Patch Validation Programs
Validate your results. Deployment is a critical step when implementing patches to various assets across an organization. Validate your results in a controlled environment before deployment. We will help you build a validation lab to test patches before releasing them into an active environment. Then, choose from multiple options available when running your lab:
1. FoxGuard builds and runs your validation lab for you. Ensuring all patches are functioning properly before deployment.
2. FoxGuard co-manages your validation lab by providing your team with guidelines to follow and checkpoints before deployment.
3. FoxGuard trains and equips your team completely to run your validation lab independently.
Patch Binary Acquisition (PBA)
Trust your solutions. FoxGuard has a secure supply chain beginning from source vendors all the way to the point of application. This ensures that every patch remains exactly as the original vendors intended. Our secure supply chain prevents “man in the middle” attacks from corrupting a patch. FoxGuard’s tools verify the source of every patch and ensures that they are unchanged before deploying it to your OT environment.
Patch Deployment
Hardwire your success. We install Sentrigard Patch hardware onsite to encrypt and deliver patches securely. This unique solution is compliant with most regulatory standards such as NERC CIP and more.
Achieve the Highest Level of Security
How secure is your energy firm? The ever-changing nature of cyber threats requires systematic and continuous assessment and implementation. Using our four-step framework, we test the maturity of your cybersecurity system. We start by creating a comprehensive inventory of your assets because its critical to know exactly what you have so you can protect it. We move progressively to assess risk, execute solutions, and monitor results, providing certainty that your energy firm is always operating with the highest levels of protection.
