Energy & Utilities
Protect critical infrastructure while enabling AI innovation. 200+ cyber incidents hit the European energy sector in 2023. 87% of energy sector professionals deploy unauthorized AI tools, exposing SCADA configurations and grid operations data. Shadow AI usage adds €670K to your breach costs.
The threat landscape is escalating
Sophisticated actors target energy infrastructure systematically. Recent major attacks include coordinated 2024 assault on 22 Danish energy firms, Halliburton data breach with operational disruptions, ongoing attacks against Finnish companies near Russian border, and the precedent-setting 2015 Ukraine power grid attack affecting 225,000 customers.
Evolving attack vectors: 80%+ of social engineering now uses AI. 61% of 2024 global attacks attributed to Russia. Nation-state actors increasingly active. AI-driven autonomous malware emerging.
Your security posture: 32% of energy operators have zero critical OT processes monitored by Security Operations Centers.
Shadow AI creates unprecedented vulnerability
Consumer AI tools your teams use daily create persistent exposure
Data retention risk
Conversations uploaded to third-party platforms stay there permanently. Your SCADA configurations, grid operations data, and infrastructure details become permanent records accessible through prompt injection attacks.
Model training exposure
Major providers train on user inputs. Your operational data could reappear in responses to other users or adversaries.
Third-country transfers
Data crosses borders without your knowledge. GDPR violations combine with security exposure.
No audit capability
You have zero visibility into what infrastructure data leaves your environment. Incident response becomes impossible when you cannot reconstruct data flows.
Third-party breach risk
Even if the AI provider protects your data, their suppliers and infrastructure create additional attack surface. 90% of largest energy companies learned this through painful experience.
The Cost
Organizations with high shadow AI usage face €670K additional breach costs - beyond the $4.88M-$10.22M average incident cost.
Zero external exposure architecture
Aimable Spaces processes sensitive infrastructure data without external risk
Data stays inside your environment
Host in EU cloud, your private cloud, or on-premises behind your firewall. Air-gapped deployment available for maximum security.
No external API calls with sensitive data
Smart routing analyzes each query. Infrastructure data stays local. Only non-sensitive queries use frontier models.
No model training on your data
Your operational knowledge remains confidential. No risk of SCADA configurations or grid management procedures appearing in other users' responses.
Complete network isolation option
Air-gapped deployment for highest security environments. Process infrastructure data with zero internet exposure.
Automatic sensitive data redaction
System identifies and protects SCADA configurations, infrastructure coordinates, access credentials, and operational parameters before any AI processing.
Security controls for critical infrastructure
Your infrastructure protection requires defense in depth
Deployment flexibility
EU cloud for standard operations. Private cloud for enhanced control. On-premises for air-gap requirements. You choose based on data sensitivity.
Access boundaries
Role-scoped workspaces mirror your security zones. Field engineers see maintenance procedures. Grid operations access real-time data. SCADA teams work in isolated environments. Contractors receive limited views.
Activity logging
Every query, every response, every document access recorded in your environment. Detect anomalous behavior. Reconstruct incidents. Support forensic investigation.
Authentication integration
Connect to your identity provider. Multi-factor authentication enforced. Session management aligned to your policies.
Encryption everywhere
Data encrypted in transit and at rest. Keys under your control. No plaintext exposure.
Supply chain transparency
Clear documentation of third-party dependencies. Assess vendor risk. Meet NIS2 supply chain security requirements.
Reduce shadow AI without blocking innovation
Prohibition fails - 91% of employees use AI regardless of policy. 46% would refuse to give up personal AI tools even if banned. Aimable Spaces provides approved alternative: ChatGPT-like interface your team knows, complete security controls you manage, zero external exposure.
