Discovery without touching the industrial environment
Starting from the root domain, CSURFACE maps internet-exposed portals, systems, and APIs without any interaction with the operational technology layer — zero risk to service.
ENERGY AND UTILITIES
Cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.
Energy and utilities companies sustain essential services and are high-value targets. CSURFACE discovers, classifies, and continuously monitors the external attack surface of the sector — without agents and without touching industrial environments.
THE SECTOR CONTEXT
Digitalization of the electric sector expands the external surface area
The electric sector combines corporate systems, customer relationship portals, cloud environments, and a layer of operational technology — SCADA, substations, and control systems — historically isolated. Digitalization brought these worlds closer together: management interfaces, engineering stations, and generation support systems now have an external presence, and each one is a point of exposure.
As critical infrastructure regulated by the National Electric System Operator (ONS) and ANEEL, energy companies adopt IEC 62443 as a reference for automation system security. Any interruption has impacts that extend beyond the company, and operational environments do not tolerate intrusive scans. The challenge is to achieve complete visibility of external exposure without any interference on the systems that maintain power supply.
HOW CSURFACE HELPS
External exposure visibility without operational risk
The platform maps the attack surface of the energy sector from an external perspective — without agents and without any contact with industrial environments.
Electric sector surface in view
Substation portals, generation support systems, transmission and distribution systems, and engineering stations that gained external visibility are identified and brought to the security team's view.
Prioritization by critical infrastructure
The queue weighs active exploration and the relevance of the asset to operations — interfaces linked to generation, transmission, and distribution at the top of the list.
Evidence for ONS, ANEEL, and IEC 62443
Each asset, finding, and change in the external surface is recorded with an auditable trail and history — objective material to demonstrate continuous cyber diligence before ONS, ANEEL, and the reference IEC 62443 for automation systems.

The electric sector surface in view — without touching the OT/SCADA network, only what is exposed on the internet.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ
Does CSURFACE interact with industrial control systems?
No. The discovery is entirely external and does not touch the operational technology layer. We do not install agents or perform intrusive scans, ensuring zero risk to critical environments.
Does the platform cover the convergence between IT and operations?
Yes, insofar as these environments have an external expression. Management interfaces and operational support systems accessible via the internet are discovered and classified, bringing this exposure to visibility.
Does the analysis interfere with the operation of the electrical grid?
No. The observation is entirely external and passive, conducted from the internet, and does not touch the OT network, SCADA systems, or substations. There are no intrusive scans, installed agents, or maintenance windows required — operations proceed without any impact.
