Attackers targeting utilities and energy organizations operate in the IT layer, corporate networks, engineering workstations, jump hosts, vendor access paths. Personam monitors the behavioral layer where those threats move, without disrupting the infrastructure that keeps the lights on.
The combination of high vendor access, legacy systems, shared credentials, and operationally sensitive infrastructure creates blind spots that rules and signatures consistently miss.
NERC CIP, FISMA, and sector-specific frameworks mandate continuous monitoring of IT systems. Demonstrating compliance requires audit evidence that manual log review cannot cost-effectively produce.
Corporate IT connects to operational systems through engineering workstations, data historians, and jump hosts. Those boundary paths are high-value targets and are often the least monitored.
Utilities run long-lifecycle IT systems, servers and workstations that cannot support modern EDR agents and carry significant patch debt. Coverage gaps exist wherever agents cannot be deployed.
Privileged access to critical IT systems is concentrated among a small number of operators and contractors. The insider threat surface is high-impact and historically under-monitored.
Equipment vendors and maintenance contractors connect remotely using specialized credentials. Their access is authorized. What they do with it is largely unmonitored once authenticated.
Regulatory frameworks require demonstrating that anomalous behavior is detected, reviewed, and documented. Manual log analysis cannot meet that bar at scale.
No agents. No disruption. No rules to maintain. Personam learns the behavioral patterns of every IP-connected asset and detects when anything begins operating outside them.
Personam supports continuous monitoring requirements at the network metadata layer, no agents required on long-lifecycle infrastructure, no maintenance windows, no changes to operational systems.
Every detected anomaly logged with full behavioral context, timestamps, entity, deviation type, peer comparison, and investigation record. Compliance documentation as a byproduct of detection.
Every privileged account profiled against its own established behavioral baseline. When a privileged user, contractor, or vendor account operates outside its historical pattern, Personam detects it.
Every privileged account, contractor credential, and vendor connection profiled against its own established behavioral baseline.
Authorized contractor, authorized VPN path, valid credential. Activity looks like thorough maintenance work. No alert fires.
Behavioral deviation: contractor accessing systems outside its historical maintenance scope. Network topology queries inconsistent with any prior session. Flagged within minutes.
Authorized operator, authorized systems, legitimate paths. Gradual expansion stays under every threshold. Nothing escalates.
Behavioral deviation: data access scope expanding outside peer group norm. Cloud staging to a service outside this operator's historical behavior.
Critical infrastructure organizations face some of the most demanding continuous monitoring requirements of any sector. Personam's continuous behavioral monitoring supports programs built around NERC CIP, FISMA continuous monitoring, and NIST SP 800-82 expectations, generating automated audit evidence as a byproduct of detection.
Mirror port on your corporate/IT network. No inline changes, no required changes to operational systems, no coordination with operational teams required.
Every IT asset, privileged account, and vendor connection profiled from first contact without manual configuration.
24/7 behavioral monitoring with automated audit evidence generation. Compliance documentation produced as a byproduct of the detection operation.
