Threat intelligence and external exposure management for critical infrastructure.
See your externally exposed operational assets and the actors targeting your sector: from the same vantage point an attacker uses, with no agent and no traffic in the control environment.
Your control network is not the problem. What is reachable from outside it is.
Remote access bridges, historians and vendor gateways reach the internet without anyone documenting them. Access brokers harvest the firewall and VPN credentials that sit in front of them, and ideological campaigns name operators in advance. All of it is visible from outside your estate, which is exactly where SOCRadar looks: no agent, no credentials, no packet in the control environment.
What is actually going wrong, and what we do about it
Agentless external exposure management is the discovery and assessment of internet-reachable assets entirely from outside an organisation's estate, requiring no software installation, no credentials and no traffic inside the operational network.
Remote access and historians bridge to the internet, undocumented
Attack Surface Management · Attack Surface Threat AssessmentExternal discovery of internet-reachable industrial services and remote access endpoints, performed entirely from outside your estate.
Operational exposure seen from the same vantage point an attacker uses: no agent, no credentials, no packet in the control environment.
State-aligned and ideological targeting is signalled in advance
Threat Actor Intelligence · Hacktivist IntelligenceActor and campaign tracking across forums and messaging platforms, filtered to your sector, region and organisation.
Advance warning when your sector, region or organisation is named.
Integrators hold diagrams, credentials and remote access
Supply Chain IntelligenceContinuous monitoring of contractor and vendor external posture, with control-level grading and alerting on their compromise.
Contractor compromise detected before the access they hold is used.
Vendor and operational accounts rotate rarely, if ever
Identity & Access IntelligenceContinuous credential exposure monitoring across your corporate and operational domains, including infostealer log activity.
Exposed operational credentials identified for rotation before use.
The patch queue is ordered by score, not by exploitation
Vulnerability IntelligencePrioritisation from observed exploitation, exploit availability, underground interest and extortion-group association, layered over scanner output.
The top of the queue reflects what attackers are actually using against your sector.
AI that decides, explains itself, and learns your environment
Decides
AI agents decide whether an alarm should exist at all: evaluating infrastructure, content and visual signals before anything reaches your queue.
Explains
Every decision carries a step-by-step reasoning trail with full audit logs, so “why did this fire” and “why didn't it” are both answerable.
Adapts
Your analysts correct verdicts and explain why. The model adapts to your organisation, so tuning compounds instead of resetting.
Assessment runs continuously rather than on a schedule: newly discovered assets are assessed automatically, critical-threat checks run daily, and policies fire from tags and detected technology: all from outside.

Who is targeting critical infrastructure right now
Manufacturing and critical infrastructure remain among the most targeted sectors globally. The page carries a live, sector-filtered view of active groups and campaigns.
Groups currently posting energy, utility and manufacturing victims, with impact scoring mapped to your organisation.
Credential harvesting against internet-facing firewalls and VPN gateways: the layer that bridges into operational networks: traced to the groups that buy the access.
Coordinated campaigns naming sectors, regions and named operators in advance.
Embedded view from the free Ransomware Intelligence Tracker, Threat Actor Database and Campaigns feed, filtered to this industry. Named actors and campaigns come from the live data, so the page stays current without a content update.

A walkthrough run against your own estate: your domains, your operators, your integrators: from outside, with nothing installed.
- Your live exposure: internet-reachable remote access, operational services and forgotten assets found from the public internet.
- Agentless, provably: no software installed, no credentials required and no traffic generated inside the operational environment.
- NIS2 and NERC CIP evidence: inventory completeness, supplier oversight and control-level mapping exported as audit evidence.
- Exploitation-led prioritisation: the patch queue reordered by what is actually being used against your sector.
Questions we get from this sector
How do you find internet-exposed operational assets without touching the control network?
Discovery is performed entirely from the public internet. Domains, subdomains, IP ranges, cloud infrastructure, exposed services and remote access endpoints are enumerated from outside, with no agent installed, no credentials required and no traffic generated inside the operational environment.
Which threat actors target energy and utilities?
Targeting comes from three directions: financially motivated extortion groups, initial access brokers harvesting credentials from internet-facing firewalls and VPN gateways, and ideologically motivated campaigns that name sectors and operators in advance. The active set changes quarterly and is tracked continuously rather than published as a static list.
How does this support NIS2 and NERC CIP obligations?
External asset discovery evidences the inventory completeness these frameworks assume, continuous supplier posture monitoring evidences third-party oversight, and control-level compliance mapping produces exportable audit evidence rather than a self-assessment.
Does prioritisation account for what is actually being exploited?
Yes. Findings carry exploitation evidence: exploit availability, observed use in the wild, underground interest and extortion-group association, so sequencing conversations with engineering are settled with evidence rather than severity scores alone.
