Critical infrastructure

Security is vital in critical infrastructure

Critical infrastructure—energy grids, water utilities, public transportation, street lighting, hospitals, and emergency communications—keeps society functioning. As these systems become increasingly connected, every device node in distributed networks represents a potential entry point for attackers, with severe societal consequences.

CyberRock provides trusted authentication and lifecycle security at scale for electronics in critical infrastructure. Our post-quantum-resilient solution ensures authorities and operators can confidently manage devices and connections as genuine and secure.

Why cybersecurity matters in critical infrastructure

Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure— energy grids, hospitals, transport, systems in buildings and/or utilities—threaten more than uptime. They can disrupt economies, halt essential services, damage equipment, erode public trust, and endanger safety. SandGrain’s CyberRock embeds immutable hardware-anchored security into every network node, from gateways to the smallest sensors and edge devices.

Strengthening legacy IT/OT systems
Installed IT and OT systems often lack inherent device-level security, leaving them exposed if perimeter defenses fail. Legacy components are hard to update and vulnerable to third-party risks. CyberRock adds immutable hardware and software-based protection, enabling cost-effective retrofitting of existing equipment in critical environments.

Securing industry 4.0 connectivity
Expanding connected networks create blind spots across gateways, control units, field devices, and sensors. CyberRock delivers scalable authentication and lifecycle management, reducing attack surfaces while simplifying oversight—no deep in-house expertise required.

Meeting rising threats and regulations
Mandates like NIS2 and CRA drive higher compliance costs and audit demands. CyberRock’s post-quantum-resilient platform supports Common Criteria certification, ensuring audit-ready systems with minimal internal resources.

The SandGrain solution: Trust at every node

Whether it’s a smart electricity meter, a connected traffic light, or a water pumping station, operators are turning to SandGrain to secure provenance and authentication, updates, and availability across distributed infrastructure.

Secure every node in critical infrastructure

CyberRock embeds secure-by-design principles into critical infrastructure, protecting edge and end nodes while simplifying governance, risk, and compliance (GRC).

Each device is equipped with an immutable hardware token that creates a trusted identity. This enables real-time authentication at scale, delivering lifecycle assurance for every connected node.
