Energy & utilities

We help energy and utility operators understand supplier access, investigate suspicious activity and plan improvements around essential service continuity.

Protect the route from a support account to a site

An engineer may rely on a remote support connection to diagnose a fault at a pumping station or substation. Losing that access can delay a repair. Leaving it too broadly available creates another risk. We work with IT, operational engineers and suppliers to agree the boundaries, escalation routes and authority for security work.

How Vambrace can help

Review remote maintenance access

We can assess agreed IT entry points, privileged accounts and the route to engineering support systems. The operational owner defines safe boundaries and authorises any activity that could affect operational technology.

Infrastructure penetration testing

Make supplier risk visible

We help identify which suppliers provide essential remote support, who approves their access and how it can be revoked during an incident. The review gives service owners a prioritised set of questions and actions for their suppliers.

Third-party risk management

Rehearse losing a support connection

An exercise can walk through a supplier account compromise during a site fault. Operations and security teams practise how to restrict access, maintain communications and authorise restoration while the control room directs operational decisions.
