Critical infrastructure cybersecurity for energy & utilities
Nipper solutions are used by some of the world’s largest energy companies and utility operators to add operational resilience for critical networks – minimizing risk and keeping critical national infrastructure (CNI) online.

Continuous cyber threat monitoring for energy and utilities
The discovery of Volt Typhoon on the US National Grid proved that the prospect of attackers gaining control of energy and utilities networks is now a genuine threat. Add in the rise of ransomware, and it’s clear that traditional cybersecurity measures for critical infrastructure are no longer enough.
Energy and utilities businesses need new ways to protect their operations, going beyond network hardening and segmentation to monitor their networks continuously for any sign of suspicious activity.
Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can provide this capability, building energy sector security by monitoring every network device at all times, including in air-gapped and offline environments, and alerting you to every change.
Pre-emptive cybersecurity for critical infrastructure
Nipper solutions help energy companies and utilities accelerate their transition from reactive threat management to pre-emptive threat exposure prevention. Instead of responding to attacks incursions, Nipper solutions help you understand where, why and how your networks are at risk, so you can shut down potential exposures before they become a breach.


Minimize digital disruption and reduce loss risk
Reduce risk of disruption to critical infrastructure by shrinking the attack surface, using Nipper InfraSight to pinpoint the latent misconfigurations, software vulnerabilities and weak credentials attackers target. With Nipper OmniSight, you can also verify that Zero Trust and Least Privilege Access (LPA) policies are being adhered to, minimizing the impact of any breach.
Pinpoint and prioritize threats to energy sector security
The sheer range of threats that energy and utilities networks face make it impossible to address them all. Nipper solutions apply a risk-based approach, alerting you to the critical vulnerabilities, in terms of potential business exposure, their exploitability and ease of fix. Then you can prioritize remediation.


Resilience: Respond to exposures and compromises faster
Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) shows the exposure and compromise impact of every configuration change across the network, authorized or unauthorized, in near real-time. You can assess them immediately and shut down exposures that could affect critical infrastructure, core operations or customer data, before attackers can exploit them.
Accelerate recovery to minimize the impact of attacks
If energy and utilities networks are compromised, organizations need to restore safe operations as quickly as possible. Both Nipper OmniSight (Integrated) and Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) help maintain an up-to-date configuration management database (CMDB) covering every network device. This enables fast rollback to a safe state, minimizing any downtime.


Assure NERC CIP and NIST cybersecurity framework compliance
Use Nipper solutions to streamline compliance with NERC CIP, NIST SP 800-53 and NIST SP 800-171. Our dedicated solutions help you accelerate assessment and provide clear details of non-compliance for you to address before external audit. Nipper OmniSight also supports the shift to resilience engineering and continuous cyber risk management.

Reduce risks and build resilience in cybersecurity for energy & utilities
Nipper solutions help energy companies and utilities reduce cyber risks, increase their resilience, respond rapidly to threat exposures and recover faster from any compromises.
Increased readiness and resilience to ransomware and APTs
Strengthen cybersecurity for utilities by using Nipper solutions to detect the misconfigurations and conflicting policies that attackers could target.
Security beyond the perimeter
Go beyond intrusion detection and perimeter security with the ability to check the configuration of every router, switch and firewall across the whole network.
Faster compliance
Pre-built frameworks for assessment against NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171 and NIS2 standards reduce audit times by 80%. Nipper solutions can also assess adherence to CIS Benchmarks.
Protection for the most secure environments
Because Nipper solutions operate without network connectivity – assessing configuration files – they can be used to spot risks in air-gapped and offline environments.
Zero Trust segmentation assurance
Nipper OmniSight provides Zero Trust segmentation and least privilege access monitoring for business-critical segments – vital for NERC CIP compliance.
Trusted by utilities and oil and gas multinationals
Helps stakeholders clearly understand risk exposure
“One of the key strengths is its ability to map configuration findings against compliance frameworks and security best practices. The reporting is structured, audit-friendly, and helps stakeholders clearly understand risk exposure. The risk-based prioritization is particularly valuable, as it allows us to focus remediation efforts on high-impact issues.”
Accurate framework benchmarking and testing
“I find Titania Nipper's reports and outputs to be thoroughly well-defined. I also appreciate the accuracy when it comes to framework benchmarking and testing. Additionally, the initial setup is easy to install and use."
Essential for detecting network configuration risks
“I like Titania Nipper's features for detecting risk areas. The scans help in identifying misconfigurations that could lead to high risks, allowing them to be quickly actioned. It's useful for enterprises serious about detecting issues with their network configurations.”
Easily assess network devices and criticality of issues
“I use Titania Nipper for network device configuration review, and it helps me easily assess our network devices. I really appreciate its ability to provide recommendations and ratings for each misconfiguration found, as it helps in confidently communicating exactly what needs to be done. The ratings are also useful for understanding the criticality of issues.”
Stands out for its cost and efficiency.
“I appreciate its ability to relieve the manual part, especially when checking CIS Benchmarks and NIST frameworks. Using it as a core tool for network tool assessment, I can simply upload our configuration, and it generates reports in seconds. Titania Nipper stands out for its cost and efficiency.”

Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to some common questions we get asked about cybersecurity in the energy sector, but if there’s something else you want to know, please contact us.
-
Vulnerability management is well-suited to devices with relatively static configurations like servers and endpoints. But network devices are highly configurable, so benefit from Nipper solutions’ in-depth analysis to spot misconfigurations and align these to the latest tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers targeting energy and utilities companies.
-
Nipper OmniSight monitors Zero Trust segmentation and LPA controls for critical segments such as grid-connected environments, confirming whether devices are correctly enforcing your policies. By combining this with pre-emptive exposure assessment, Nipper OmniSight can provide a real-time, adversary-aware view of the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures for critical infrastructure.

-
Segmentation is fundamental to energy sector security because it breaks a complex environment into clearly defined zones with explicit, least privilege connectivity between them. So even if the network is breached, the breach can be contained and the attack surface reduced.
-
Our solutions don’t protect legacy systems directly; they focus on the networks that are exposing these mission-critical platforms to outside threats. By pinpointing vulnerabilities in these networks, Nipper solutions help eliminate attack paths.
-
Yes, both Nipper OmniSight (Integrated) and Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can create visual representations of your networks, including remote energy operations, based on the device configurations stored in a CMDB. Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can also populate a CMDB if you don’t already have one.
-
Yes. You can use Nipper OmniSight (Standalone), which uses the configurations you upload to provide point-in-time assessments on an ad-hoc or scheduled basis.
