Three Domains.
One Convergence.
Critical infrastructure faces threats across physical security, cybersecurity, and operational technology. Traditional tools address only one domain. Argus converges all three into unified intelligence.
Argus provides the intelligence platform that makes critical infrastructure protection actionable.
Physical. Cyber. OT. All Connected. All Targeted.
Critical infrastructure security can no longer be organized in silos. The threats do not respect your org chart.
When Silos Fail
A substation attack may be reconnaissance for cyberattack. Network intrusion may precede physical sabotage. When physical, cyber, and OT operate independently, connections remain invisible.
The Modern Threat Landscape
Nation-states pre-position in networks. Domestic extremists target substations. Ransomware holds water systems hostage. Each requires different detection, all require unified response.
Regulatory Pressure
CIRCIA requires 72-hour cyber incident reporting. NERC CIP mandates physical and cyber controls. Compliance demands documentation across all security domains.
The Integration Imperative
Argus bridges the convergence gap. Physical events correlate with cyber indicators. OT alerts connect to network activity. Unified situational awareness.
Traditional Approach vs Argus Convergence
Choose a scenario to see how Argus transforms critical infrastructure protection through unified intelligence.
Traditional Approach
- 1Physical security logs access badge anomaly
- 2Manually email IT security team
- 3IT checks network logs separately (hours later)
- 4OT team unaware until shift change
- 5Correlation happens in weekly meeting
Detection to response: 18+ hours
With Argus
- Physical badge anomaly triggers instant alert
- Argus auto-correlates with network activity
- OT system checks show process deviation
- Unified timeline shows cross-domain pattern
- Automated threat score prioritizes response
Detection to response: Under 15 minutes
Readiness Score: 10/30
Three Domains. One Platform. Complete Visibility.
Critical infrastructure security spans three traditionally separate domains. Argus integrates all three.
Physical Security Intelligence
- ✓Access control event integration
- ✓Video surveillance correlation
- ✓Badge activity behavioral analysis
- ✓Perimeter intrusion detection fusion
- ✓Visitor management tracking
- ✓Physical threat intelligence
Badge access correlates with network login. Perimeter alerts trigger cross-domain investigation.
Cybersecurity Integration
- ✓Network intrusion detection correlation
- ✓Endpoint security alert fusion
- ✓Threat intelligence integration
- ✓Vulnerability assessment data
- ✓Security information event management
- ✓Incident response coordination
Network anomalies connect to physical presence. Malware indicators trigger access reviews.
Operational Technology Monitoring
- ✓SCADA system integration
- ✓Industrial control system monitoring
- ✓Process sensor data correlation
- ✓PLC activity analysis
- ✓Safety system status tracking
- ✓OT-specific threat detection
ICS anomalies correlate with network and physical indicators for complete threat picture.
Threats Target Your Sector. Your Intelligence Should Too.
Generic threat feeds miss specific threats targeting critical infrastructure. Argus provides intelligence relevant to your operations.
Energy
Power generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure
Capabilities:
- ✓ Substation physical security integration
- ✓ Grid operational technology monitoring
- ✓ Nation-state threat intelligence
- ✓ NERC CIP compliance documentation
- ✓ Distributed asset coordination
Threats:
- • Nation-state pre-positioning (Volt Typhoon patterns)
- • Physical substation attacks and vandalism
- • Ransomware targeting utility operations
See Every Facility. Protect Every Asset.
Critical infrastructure spans geography. Utilities operate hundreds of substations. Water systems manage distributed treatment facilities. Coordinated attacks may target multiple locations simultaneously.
Centralized Situational Awareness
Unified visibility across all facilities from a single platform. Security events from any location appear in centralized monitoring with geographic context.
Pattern Detection Across Sites
Attacks on multiple locations may appear as isolated incidents when viewed separately. Correlation analysis identifies patterns spanning facilities.
Coordinated Response
When incidents affect multiple facilities, response requires coordination. Multi-site incident management enables teams to coordinate with shared situational awareness.
Remote and Unmanned Facilities
Many assets operate without permanent staff. Remote facility security integrates with centralized monitoring for appropriate attention.
Distributed Infrastructure Monitoring

The Threat from Within
Insider threats represent significant risk to critical infrastructure. Trusted employees and contractors have access external attackers must work to obtain. Detection requires cross-domain correlation.
Cross-Domain Behavior Analysis
Unusual after-hours access combined with data exfiltration. Badge patterns diverging from normal while system access increases. Correlation across domains reveals indicators single-domain systems miss.
Access and Activity Correlation
Who accessed which facilities when? What network activity occurred during that access? Which systems did they touch? Complete pictures across the organization.
Contractor and Vendor Monitoring
Critical infrastructure relies on third parties requiring access to sensitive systems and facilities. Entity profiles track contractor activity across physical and cyber domains.
When Regulators Ask, Have Answers Ready.
Critical infrastructure faces mounting regulatory requirements. Compliance requires documentation across all security domains.
CIRCIA Reporting
Requirement: 72-hour cyber incident reporting, 24-hour ransomware payment reporting
Argus Support: Incident documentation supports rapid, accurate CIRCIA reporting with automated timeline generation and evidence compilation.
NERC CIP Compliance
Requirement: Physical and cybersecurity controls for energy infrastructure
Argus Support: Comprehensive audit trails supporting CIP compliance: access logs, incident documentation, and security monitoring records across physical and cyber domains.
TSA Security Directives
Requirement: Transportation security requirements and cybersecurity measures
Argus Support: Documentation framework addresses TSA pipeline and transportation security directives with unified compliance reporting.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
Requirement: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover framework implementation
Argus Support: Platform capabilities map directly to NIST CSF functions with evidence supporting framework implementation across all categories.
ISA/IEC 62443
Requirement: Industrial automation and control systems security standards
Argus Support: OT security monitoring and documentation aligned with ISA/IEC 62443 requirements for industrial control systems security.
The Infrastructure That Powers Everything Needs Intelligence That Sees Everything.
Critical infrastructure operators face unprecedented threats. Nation-states pre-position for disruption. Ransomware targets essential services. Physical attacks continue rising. Regulators demand documentation and rapid reporting.
Traditional siloed security cannot address the modern threat landscape. Argus provides the unified intelligence platform critical infrastructure protection requires.
The systems that power society deserve protection that sees the complete picture.
