SIROCCO
The energy sector has increasingly embraced digitalization to enhance efficiency and sustainability. However, a growing concern is the rising frequency of cyberattacks on critical energy infrastructure, with incidents affecting wind farms, oil and gas facilities, and renewable energy assets worldwide. Recent research indicates that attackers can compromise industrial control systems within minutes (DNV, 2024). Such breaches can result in substantial financial losses—for example, wind farm companies may face potential revenue losses of $10,500 to $30,000 per hour of downtime—along with reputational damage and risks to critical infrastructure.
Our recent survey of OT security companies across Europe, North America, and Asia revealed alarming trends:
-
89% of companies anticipate cyberattacks on wind farms.
-
77% believe existing defences are inadequate against emerging threats.
-
82% state that they lack a solution capable of addressing new attack vectors.
-
71% feel that current solutions are not trustworthy and are prone to false positives.
These findings highlight an urgent need for advanced, reliable cybersecurity solutions tailored to the evolving threats faced by critical energy infrastructure.
To address this urgent issue, we provide SIROCCO which is an AI-powered SaaS platform that leverages Human-in-the-Loop and self-improving Explainable AI for trustworthy and early cyberattack detection in critical energy infrastructure.
Key Differentiators of SIROCCO:
-
Early and Zero-Day Attack Detection – Utilizes self-improving AI and AI model threat-sharing across multiple locations.
-
Responsible and Explainable AI – Incorporates Human-in-the-Loop mechanisms to reduce false positives and enhance trust.
-
Continuous AI Improvement – Enables ongoing data generation and annotation to refine detection capabilities over time.
-
Tamper-Proof Security – Ensures secure storage of AI models and data, both in transit and at rest.
Target Market:
Our intellectual property (IP) licensing model is designed for operational technology (OT) security companies and third-party service providers in the following sectors:
-
Offshore and onshore wind farms
-
Hydropower plants
-
Tidal energy plants
-
Water and sewage systems
-
Petrochemical industries
Having successfully developed our Proof-of-Concept (PoC), we are now seeking collaborators and investors to help us secure funding for the development of our Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
