OSINT for Critical Infrastructure Protection
Facilities, SCADA, activists, and supply chain, watched from one place. Find the threat, investigate the group behind it, and act.
The Challenges Infrastructure Operators Face
Threats span every risk domain
A single utility faces physical security threats to substations, cyber attacks on operational technology, environmental activists targeting operations, regulatory changes, and geopolitical supply chain disruption. No single-domain tool covers this threat matrix.
You hear about threats from the news
When a threat actor posts reconnaissance photos of a substation on social media, or an activist group plans a protest at a facility, infrastructure security teams typically find out from news coverage, after the event. Continuous monitoring surfaces these signals early.
Enterprise tools weren't built for infrastructure
Most digital risk protection platforms focus on brand protection and cyber threats for tech and financial services. They don't classify threats to physical infrastructure, environmental risk, or public safety. Their classifiers don't know what matters to you.
How DigitalStakeout Serves Critical Infrastructure
Scout finds it. Nexus investigates it. Our analysts take whichever part you hand them.
Scout
Monitor facilities, routes, and operating regions for physical threats, OT and SCADA targeting, activist activity, and supply-chain disruption, with geo-fenced alerts around each site.
Nexus
Investigate the group or account behind a threat to a site: members, prior actions, shared infrastructure, and links to your other facilities. Cases stay connected across the estate.
Services
Our analysts help scope collection across sites, run investigations on credible threats, and support escalation to security and operations.
Threat Scenarios Covered
Critical infrastructure requires broad risk coverage. DigitalStakeout configures the relevant intelligence domains, source coverage, workflows, reporting, and who runs it around each organization’s assets and mission.
Physical Security
Facility sabotage, trespassing, attacks on substations, and intrusion signals.
Cyber Risk
SCADA/OT targeting, credential exposure, ransomware, and exploit discussions.
Environmental Risk
Activist campaigns, environmental incidents, and climate-related disruptions.
Geopolitical Risk
Supply chain disruption, sanctions, and foreign interference targeting operations.
Public Safety
Community safety around facilities, emergency events, and hazmat incidents.
Societal Risk
Protests and activism targeting operations, community opposition, and civil unrest.
Regulatory Risk
Compliance changes, enforcement actions, and regulatory developments affecting ops.
Economic Risk
Supply chain disruptions, commodity impacts, and economic instability signals.
These are a subset of DigitalStakeout's 1,400+ risk scenarios across 21 risk domains. See the full taxonomy →
Built for Your Mission
Infrastructure security teams use DigitalStakeout for facility monitoring, cyber threat early warning, and environmental activism tracking, all from a single platform.
Facility Security Monitoring
A utility company monitors public social media within geo-fenced zones around critical substations and operational facilities. The platform flags a post showing photos of facility infrastructure tagged with hostile commentary. Security assesses using Social Media Profile Search and escalates to physical security for increased patrols.
Cyber Threat Early Warning
Dark web monitoring detects discussions in an underground forum about vulnerabilities in a specific SCADA vendor used by the utility. Vulnerability monitoring confirms the vulnerability is being actively exploited. The security team works with OT/ICS teams to prioritize patching before the threat materializes.
Environmental Activism Tracking
An environmental group announces a planned "direct action" campaign against fossil fuel infrastructure on social media. The platform classifies the content under Environmental Risk and Societal Risk. Security teams monitor the campaign's development, identify planned protest locations, and coordinate with law enforcement.
Guided Pricing for Regulated Industries
The solution is sized around monitored facilities, assets, people, suppliers, domains, and regions, then priced for the monitoring capacity, investigation, reporting, who runs it, and analyst services required.
A configured solution can combine the relevant intelligence domains, dark web monitoring, OSINT investigation, REST API access, reporting, and analyst services. Learn more about our platform or explore dark web monitoring.
