Cybersecurity Protection

Protect the Control Layer

CPLANE helps plants and the system integrators who serve them put cybersecurity in the control layer. Built to IEC 62443. A February 2026 U.S. Army red team found no vulnerabilities that allowed unauthorized access to control.

Security Belongs in the Control Layer

Exposed controllers and a single-vendor stack leave the plant with one path for both operations and security. A patch still waits on the vendor's window.

The control layer is built to IEC 62443-4-2 SL2. Zoning, access, and the response to a security event sit in the architecture.

How We Start

Security designed into the control layer, then proven on one unit.

Step 1

Map What Is Exposed

Controller inventory, where remote access lives, and which units cannot take an unplanned outage.

Step 2

Prove One Unit

Live control starts on one isolatable unit. The rest stays on the installed stack until that unit proves itself.

Step 3

Keep the Integrator

CPLANE does not go around the SI who already knows the plant. Engineering, the integrator, and operations stay in the loop.

Step 4

Evaluate on the Fusion 500

Validate the platform on the Fusion 500 before a wider rollout. Same IEC 62443 control layer as production.

Built for Cybersecurity Protection

The control layer, built to IEC 62443. One open control architecture.

Where the exposure sits

Controllers, remote access, and the path between the enterprise network and the control network.

  • Controllers reachable from outside the plant
  • Remote access that shares a path with control
  • A patch cycle tied to one vendor
One pane of glass. One security perimeter.
Industrial automation equipment and engineering environment.

A perimeter is not the control layer

When security is added after the controller is installed, the plant still depends on that vendor for the patch and the outage.

  • Internet-facing controllers are a known vector
  • A full replacement is often not in the budget
  • A patch still waits on the vendor's window
Modernize compute. Keep the field wiring.
Proprietary control hardware.

Security designed into the stack

Zoning and access are part of the control architecture. The plant can move one unit at a time.

  • Start on one isolatable unit
  • Zone the plant. Access through a gateway.
  • Take controllers off the public internet as that unit moves
Your SI stays in the loop.

Open, software-defined control

Harder to attack, easier to patch, cheaper to sustain, and free of single-vendor dependency at every layer. Software failover in under one control cycle. No extra standby chassis.

  • Patch and swap a node on the plant's schedule
  • Patch and swap a node without a maintenance window
  • Multiple vendors can supply standards-based components
Not a lock-in swap.

Designed in, not bolted on

The control layer is built to IEC 62443-4-2 SL2. A February 2026 U.S. Army red team found no vulnerabilities that allowed unauthorized access to control.

  • Zone the plant. Access through a gateway.
  • Not a substitute for red-teaming or taking controllers off the internet today.
  • A password change on a controller is an operations event.
Residual risk is never zero.

In production, and relevant here

Open control on this stack is in production at an ExxonMobil chemical terminal, a continuous process that stays online. Fusion 500 is the evaluation unit before a wider rollout.
