Industrial systems were never meant to face the internet.
Oil and gas companies run SCADA networks and control systems that now connect back to IT, and ransomware groups have noticed. Cypho finds what you expose online, follows the actors going after energy infrastructure, and watches for people impersonating your executives.

In this sector, a breach can halt production.
ICS, SCADA and other operational technology run extraction, refining and distribution. As those systems connect to IT networks, an intrusion can disrupt production, compromise safety mechanisms and cause environmental harm.
Ransomware groups target pipeline operations, refinery processes and supply chain logistics. Others go after remote access systems and cloud vulnerabilities, or the aging SCADA systems, legacy PLCs and firmware that are hard to patch and lack modern controls.
The supply chain adds more doors. Drilling contractors, equipment vendors and logistics partners each bring credentials, APIs and vulnerabilities of their own. Executives get targeted directly, through spear-phishing, spoofed domains and social engineering aimed at operational data, financial systems and strategic communications.
Your exposure, the way an attacker sees it.

Ransomware groups and other actors targeting energy infrastructure, with their techniques, linked CVEs and victims by country and sector.
A / Threat Intelligence
Vulnerabilities in what you run
CVEs in the products you use, including older systems you add manually, ranked with CVSS and SVRS so the exploitable ones come first.
C / Brand Protection
Executive impersonation
Fake profiles of your executives, lookalike domains set up for spear-phishing, and mentions of key people across the web.
Security findings weighed against operational risk.
- Operational context
- Threat data is weighed against asset importance, geographic risk and business impact.
- Brand and people
- Brand mentions, high-profile employees and customer references are monitored for early signs of abuse.
- Continuous external monitoring
- Misconfigurations and overlooked exposures are caught as your external footprint changes.
What energy security teams ask us.
Do you monitor our OT network directly?
Cypho works from outside your network. We look for OT assets exposed to the internet, leaked configurations and threat actor campaigns aimed at energy infrastructure.
Can we follow the groups targeting our sector?
Yes. You can subscribe to threat actor profiles and follow their campaigns, tactics and linked CVEs, along with victim trends by sector and country.
What happens when you find an exposed admin panel?
It becomes an issue in your account with an impact summary and remediation steps. If something is unclear, comment on the issue and an analyst replies.
Stories and research.

From the research team
Other industries.
- Financial servicesFinancial institutions get targeted because of the data they handle.
- GovernmentGovernment bodies hold citizen records, run services people rely on, and draw attention from ransomware gangs and state-sponsored groups.
- Retail and eCommerceSkimmers go after the payment page and credential stuffers go after customer accounts.
- TelecomTelecom providers handle large volumes of data, and 5G keeps widening what's exposed.
- HealthcareHospitals, clinics and private practices hold sensitive records and run services patients can't go without.
