Cybersecurity Giants Shaping the Future of SCADA & OT Protection in 2025

As cyber threats evolve and converge with operational technology (OT), the energy and utilities industry is investing heavily in robust SCADA security frameworks. From real-time monitoring to attack path simulation and AI-driven defense, companies are stepping up with purpose-built solutions tailored for critical infrastructure.

Here are notable companies making headlines and why their innovations matter to utility CISOs, cyber architects, and SCADA specialists.

1. Rockwell Automation – Real-Time OT Security Monitoring

In April 2025, Rockwell Automation launched its Security Monitoring and Response Service. This new launch managed security service delivers continuous, real-time threat monitoring tailored specifically for operational technology (OT) environments. Designed to address critical workforce shortages in cybersecurity teams, the service offers hands-free protection, enabling faster detection and response across complex and distributed industrial assets. This solution is especially valuable for utility operators, grid infrastructure managers, and industrial control teams who require constant visibility and rapid action without overburdening internal resources.

“As cyber risk continues to increase, manufacturers need constant vigilance and the right expertise to stay ahead of evolving threats. But they often lack the resources to do so,” said Nick Creath, cybersecurity services lead product manager at Rockwell Automation.

2. Claroty – Expanding SCADA Visibility at Industrial Scale

Claroty continues its rapid growth, supported by $740 million+ in funding and a strategic expansion into the utilities and critical infrastructure sector. As a top-tier solution provider in ICS visibility, asset inventory, and policy enforcement, Claroty addresses some of the most urgent challenges in SCADA-heavy environments. Its tools empower grid operators and asset managers to consolidate OT asset data, manage vulnerabilities more effectively, and accelerate incident response—making it a vital player in today’s evolving cyber-threat landscape.

“For ten years, our customers have trusted Claroty to protect their organizations from adversaries that are increasingly targeting the systems that are critical to modern society,” said Yaniv Vardi , CEO of Claroty.

3. DOE’s CESER Launches Breakthrough OT Cybersecurity Tool with Bastazo & Network Perception

The U.S. Department of Energy’s CESER office, in collaboration with Bastazo and Network Perception , has unveiled V-INT—a cutting-edge tool designed to help energy utilities identify and prioritize vulnerabilities in complex OT networks. By simulating real-world cyberattacks and analyzing firewall policies, V-INT gives a hacker’s-eye view into critical system exposure. Backed by AI-powered insights from Bastazo and network visualization from Network Perception (a Dragos company), this solution enables utilities to take targeted, risk-based action to protect infrastructure and enhance national grid resilience.

"V-INT enables companies to conduct realistic attack simulations to provide a clear view of how their vulnerabilities appear from an attacker’s perspective,” said Philip Huff, Bastazo’s co-founder and chief scientist

4. SentinelOne Unveils Purple AI Athena: Smart Defense for Modern Utility Cybersecurity

SentinelOne launched Purple AI Athena, a next-gen agentic AI-powered tool designed to transform how utilities detect and respond to complex cyber threats. Built for the scale and urgency of today’s energy infrastructure, Athena automates threat investigation across multiple data sources, orchestrates precise response actions, and enables intelligent remediation. With seamless integration into third-party platforms and a focus on hyperautomation, it delivers exactly what large utilities and energy providers need: faster, smarter, and more resilient cybersecurity.

5. Nozomi Networks Secures $100M and Leader Spot in 2025 Gartner CPS Quadrant

Nozomi Networks , a global industrial cybersecurity frontrunner, was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for CPS Protection Platforms. Backed by $100M in Series E funding in the past. Nozomi’s AI-driven platform protects over 115 million OT and IoT assets across 12,000+ sites. With deep-packet inspection, real-time threat detection, and hybrid visibility, it empowers SCADA teams and CISOs to defend critical infrastructure with precision and scale.

As the convergence of IT and OT continues to reshape the cybersecurity landscape, these pioneering companies are pushing the boundaries of innovation to protect the energy sector’s most critical infrastructure.
