Ransomware protection built for energy and utilities
Energy and utility providers run the critical infrastructure that everything else depends on — and ransomware groups know it. The Colonial Pipeline attack showed how a single incident can trigger regional shortages and national alarm. Immune keeps critical infrastructure running through an attack, detecting in seconds, containing before spread, and self-healing IT and operational systems.
Immune protects the IT/OT boundary that critical infrastructure depends on — precise containment that avoids precautionary shutdowns, and fast, validated recovery.
Why ransomware hits energy & utilities hardest
Energy and utilities are critical infrastructure, which makes them both high-value targets and high-consequence victims. The 2021 Colonial Pipeline attack — which began on the IT side but forced a precautionary shutdown of the largest US fuel pipeline — demonstrated how an attack on this sector cascades into public shortages and national-security concern.
The defining challenge is the IT/OT boundary. Operational technology controls physical processes and often can't run agents or be patched, yet operators must be able to contain a threat without shutting down essential services out of caution. Immune's precise, network-level containment gives operators the confidence to isolate a threat without halting the whole operation — and to recover fast from validated backups.

Common questions
Ransomware protection for energy & utilities, answered
+Can Immune protect operational technology in utilities?
Yes. Immune protects the IT/OT boundary with network-level detection and containment, reaching the operational-technology systems that can't run a security agent.
+How does Immune avoid precautionary shutdowns?
Immune contains threats precisely at the network level, giving operators the confidence to isolate an intrusion without halting essential services out of caution — the decision that turned the Colonial Pipeline IT incident into a fuel-supply crisis.
+Does Immune support critical-infrastructure compliance?
Immune's immutable audit logging and validated recovery support the oversight and resilience expectations placed on critical-infrastructure operators.
