Site boundaries
Understand where shared engineering access ends and which relationships still need validation.
Power & utilities / Breakwater ASOC
Protect the systems
that keep power flowing.
Breakwater ASOC brings agentic AI investigation to the IT and OT connections around utility operations. Trace candidate attack paths, challenge the evidence and rehearse response options with the teams responsible for continuity of service.

Illustrative evaluation scenario
An engineering connection serves one site. Could it reach another?
A maintenance job requires access to equipment at one site. Security and engineering need to establish whether the same connection creates a route beyond the approved work scope.
- Engineering workstation
- Approved maintenance site
- Other site boundaries
Operating priorities / Power & utilities
Every access decision has an operating context.
Long-lived infrastructure
Bring software and cryptographic evidence into planning alongside equipment life and operating constraints.
Authority to change
Put control-room, field and engineering responsibilities into the response review.
Discover / Provenance / Response
Connect the access path to the operating decision.
Map the engineering connections.
Discover identifies assets, observed relationships and candidate attack paths for review against the approved site scope.
Inspect the software and crypto evidence.
Provenance links available source, dependency and cryptographic findings to their evidence, supporting remediation and PQC planning.
Challenge the cross-site exposure.
Response brings the evidence into an AI Council investigation. Compare explanations and rehearse a scoped intervention before engineering approval.
Agentic AI / Power & utilities
Investigate the reach.
Keep the utility in control.
ILLUSTRATIVE INVESTIGATION
Could access approved for Site A extend to Site B?
The Council examines a cross-site access hypothesis against supplied evidence and the engineering work scope.
Test the cross-site hypothesis.
Ask whether the observed relationships support the route. Preserve uncertainty where reachability depends on a stale record or an unverified connection.
Compare an access restriction.
Rehearse a modeled change to the selected relationship. Identify which job requirements, dependencies and recovery assumptions engineering must validate.
Let engineering judge the change.
The utility’s accountable owners decide whether to proceed, when work is permitted and what fresh evidence will confirm the intended result.
Decision & evaluation criteria
Which access should remain for the job—and which relationship needs investigation?
Evidence to retain
- The authorized work scope and relevant site boundaries
- Source records behind each candidate relationship
- An intervention proposal, recovery owner and outcome check
How to judge the evaluation
Trace one engineering-access question from observations to a reviewed decision. Have the utility’s engineering team challenge the route assumptions and assess the proposed change against the job scope.

Start with one engineering-access boundary.
Bring a site, a defined maintenance job and the engineering owner. Evaluate how ASOC connects the access evidence to a response the utility can review.
