Cyber-Physical Security

Security at the edge.
Where the physical world meets the network.

PacketViper deploys enforcement at the exact point where cyber and physical systems converge – autonomous, agentless, inline – without requiring cloud connectivity or central management to act.

Most OT vendors protect the network. PacketViper protects the cabinet.

The Problem

The attacker didn’t hack your network. He opened a cabinet with a key.

Edge locations are the most vulnerable point in any critical infrastructure environment. Roadside cabinets, substations, pump stations – physically accessible, running legacy equipment with default credentials and network ports facing the LAN.

Central management consoles and cloud-based detection platforms were built for environments where everything connects back to a data center. Industrial edge locations do not work that way. They are remote. They are physically accessible. They run legacy equipment.

When the network connection drops, central detection stops. When physical access bypasses network security, the only protection that matters is the one already at that location.

PacketViper Cyber-Physical RSU
Remote Security Unit

The RSU. Purpose-built for the edge.

The PacketViper RSU deploys inside traffic cabinet racks, ICS control rooms, remote substations, water treatment pump stations, and pipeline facilities. Self-contained enforcement and detection. No cloud dependency. No gap during outage.

Autonomous Operation

If central management connection drops – planned maintenance, network outage, active attack – the RSU continues enforcing the last known policy. When connectivity restores, it syncs. No gap. No window of vulnerability. The edge never goes dark.

Transparent Bridge

Goes inline on the existing network path. No reconfiguration of existing equipment. No agents. No firmware updates. No active scanning of sensitive industrial equipment. Zero operational disruption.

Physical Intrusion Detection

An attacker who physically breaches a cabinet and connects a laptop finds a network populated with deceptive services. Every probe generates enforcement action and logs their fingerprint. The physical breach triggers the cyber response – automatically, instantly, without a human in the loop.

Fail-Safe Design

Hardware bypass ensures traffic continues uninterrupted if the RSU loses power or encounters a fault. Production never stops because of the security device. DIN-rail mounted, DC powered – designed for cabinet rack environments, not server rooms.

Cyber Physical Device

When someone opens the cabinet, PacketViper knows.

The Cyber Physical Device integrates environmental and physical access monitoring directly with the network security stack – one platform, one dashboard, one alert system for both worlds.

Door Sensors and Camera Activation

Instantly detects unauthorized access to restricted areas and control cabinets. Door open events trigger automated HD camera recording, forwarded immediately to incident response.

Real-Time SMS/Email Alerts via MPA

All physical events generate immediate SMS and email delivery via dedicated 10DLC numbers, compliant with current telecom regulations. Custom scheduler activates and deactivates alerting based on operational hours.

Automated Camera Recording on Breach

Physical access events trigger high-definition recording automatically. All physical events are correlated with network telemetry in a single dashboard – no separate physical security platform required.

Deployment Scenarios

Where cyber-physical enforcement lives.

Traffic Cabinets

Roadside ITS equipment, signal controllers, and traffic management systems. Physically accessible locations running legacy firmware with default credentials.

Substations

Remote switching equipment, protection relays, and SCADA RTUs at unmanned locations. Critical infrastructure that cannot tolerate downtime.

Pump Stations

Water treatment facilities, wastewater pump stations, and remote monitoring locations with limited staff and intermittent connectivity.

Pipeline Facilities

Compressor stations, valve control points, and SCADA endpoints across hundreds of miles of pipeline infrastructure.

Manufacturing Cells

Production floor control cabinets, robotic cells, and CNC equipment rooms where physical and network access converge.

Building Mechanical Rooms

BMS/HVAC control cabinets in commercial, industrial, and critical facilities. Building automation systems that bridge IT and OT networks.
