Cybersecurity & Crisis Recovery for Critical InfrastructurE
Recover troubled programs. Secure OT. Validate risk with cyber twins.
CartikTech helps municipalities, utilities, and energy operators stabilize transformation programs, reduce OT cyber risk, and prove resilience—without disrupting operations.

PROBLEM
Why critical infrastructure programs fail under pressure
Delivery risk and security risk are coupled. When governance breaks down, both timelines and resilience suffer.
Programs in distress
Up to 30–45% of large digital programs miss timeline targets
Complex stakeholder environments + vendor misalignment drive rework and escalation.
OT attack surface growth
ICS/OT ransomware & extortion now target availability
OT environments need resilience, segmentation, and response playbooks built for safety and uptime.
Compliance pressure
NIST/IEC 62443 alignment increasingly required in RFPs
Evidence-based controls and operationalized governance are now deal-breakers.
Limited testing of “what if”
Most organizations tabletop—without system realism
Cyber twins enable realistic simulations without risking production systems.
SOLUTION
Services that stabilize delivery and strengthen resilience
Choose a starting point—then expand into a continuous improvement program.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
Demand is growing for OT-ready cyber resilience
Boards and regulators increasingly require evidence-based controls, and operators need safer ways to test changes.
TAM
