Protecting the Backbone of Our Nation

At VERUS Defense, we specialize in AI-Enhanced Vulnerability Assessments tailored to the unique needs of critical infrastructure providers. From energy grids and water systems to telecommunications and transportation networks, we help safeguard the operational technology (OT) and IT systems that power our modern society.

With cyber threats evolving rapidly and nation-state actors targeting vital systems, traditional security is no longer enough. Our advanced services combine AI-driven threat detection with expert penetration testing, delivering real-time risk visibility, actionable insights, and mission-critical resilience.

🔧 Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity Services

1. ⚙️ AI-Powered Vulnerability Assessment

Description: Using machine learning and advanced scanning engines, we identify known and emerging vulnerabilities across IT and OT environments.

  • Real-time CVE identification across SCADA/ICS and network assets

  • AI-based risk scoring using asset criticality and exploit likelihood

  • Automated patch and mitigation guidance

  • Continuous monitoring available

2. 🛠️ Operational Technology (OT) Penetration Testing

Description: Simulate adversarial access to ICS, SCADA, and PLC systems in a controlled, non-disruptive manner.

  • Safe testing for legacy and air-gapped environments

  • Assessment of physical entry points, weak remote access, and firmware exploits

  • Industrial protocol inspection (Modbus, DNP3, OPC, etc.)

  • Supply chain threat vector simulation

3. 📊 Attack Surface Monitoring & Threat Modeling

Description: Our AI systems continuously map external exposures and model potential attack paths into critical assets.

  • External asset discovery for shadow IT and forgotten endpoints

  • Attack graph modeling from public exposure to OT compromise

  • Real-time notifications for misconfigurations and high-risk changes

4. 🧠 Secure Code & System Configuration Audits

Description: We review control systems firmware, custom code, and platform configurations to identify insecure practices.

  • ICS controller configuration and code audits

  • Git repository scanning for insecure operational logic

  • AI-enhanced logic review and secure configuration baseline creation

5. 🧩 Regulatory Compliance Mapping (NERC CIP, CMMC, NIST CSF)

Description: Align assessments with federal and industry-specific regulations to ensure audit readiness.

  • Gap analysis and remediation roadmap

  • Continuous compliance tracking dashboards

  • Incident response tabletop testing

6. 🔄 Ongoing Cybersecurity Retainer

Description: Stay secure year-round with continuous AI vulnerability scans, quarterly pen testing, and on-call response advisory.

  • Monthly or quarterly service models

  • Incident readiness support

  • AI anomaly detection integrations available with your existing SIEM

🚨 Why It Matters

The consequences of a breach in critical infrastructure are more than financial—they’re national. We partner with operators, municipalities, and defense contractors to provide proactive, intelligent, and resilient security solutionstailored to the infrastructure that keeps our world running.
