Introduction

Clarity’s flagship product, Constant Guardian®, works by protecting the all-important electronic command-and-control signals which run all computer-controlled facilities, from alteration or disruption, from any source, or by any method. As a result, Constant Guardian® offers extraordinary levels of cyber security assurance by detecting cyberattacks of all types, sources, and methods.

This includes novel cyberattacks by advanced nation-state attackers that all other products on the market regularly miss, as well as operator mistakes, facility programming errors, and even deliberate sabotage attempts from the outside or inside.

Additionally, Constant Guardian® increases facility reliability and uptime through exceptionally detailed diagnostics of facility electronic command-and-control communications.

Problem

"When I described the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] as a threat to Americans’ safety a moment ago, I meant that in some ways quite literally. There has been far too little public focus on the fact that PRC [People's Republic of China] hackers are targeting our critical infrastructure—our water treatment plants, our electrical grid, our oil and natural gas pipelines, our transportation systems—and the risk that poses to every American requires our attention now."
– Christopher Wray, Director, FBI
[From remarks to the House Select Committee Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, January 31, 2024]

Industrial Control Systems (ICS’s) that are currently used to automate many physical processes across critical infrastructure industries, are more often very antiquated. ICS’s are therefore increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks despite the existing layers of defenses.

And if that’s not enough:

  • Cyber attacks on industrial control systems are also increasing every year
  • Convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) in addition to increase of remote operation centers may create even more vulnerabilities in Industrial Control Systems
  • Various government regulations and initiatives to protect critical infrastructure (e.g., US Gov’t TSA Directive, FBI InfraGard, EPA Enforcement Alerts) may now start to drive further investment

Solution

We're Safeguarding Life's Essentials

Imagine a world where clean water flows uninterrupted, electricity powers our homes without fail, and fuel distribution remains secure. This isn't just a vision; it's the reality we're committed to preserving. At Clarity Consulting Corporation, we recognize the vital role of critical infrastructure in sustaining our way of life. That's why we've dedicated ourselves to fortifying the backbone of modern society against the ever-looming threats of cyber attacks, insider sabotage, and operational errors.

Introducing Constant Guardian®: Your Shield in the Digital Battlefield

Enter our revolutionary patented flagship edition of Constant Guardian® cybersecurity suite, the pinnacle of protection for industrial control systems (ICS) that govern the heart of essential infrastructure. Unlike traditional security measures that merely react to threats, Constant Guardian® takes a proactive stance within the very fabric of your ICS. Our patented technology meticulously monitors and aligns operational equipment states with predefined logic chains, effectively creating an impregnable fortress around your facilities.

Unleashing the Power of Proactive Defense

Picture this: instead of scrambling to identify malicious activity or anomalies, Constant Guardian® operates seamlessly within your ICS network, ensuring that every facet of your facility operates as intended. By enforcing the status quo and permitting only legitimate sequences and timing of commands, our solution neutralizes threats without compromising the integrity of your aging or cutting-edge ICS infrastructure.

Business Model

Initially, we plan to target water treatment plants where we have business relationships already. Additionally, we plan to target other industrial process control markets that are currently underserved in the cybersecurity domain, and gain invaluable expertise in these smaller but absolutely critical areas. With the additional expertise we plan to then enter the Fortune 500 market that employs industrial control systems.

Our primary methods of revenue plan to include:

  • Annual subscription for Constant Guardian
    – Rates based on size/complexity of the industrial control system
    – Hardware
  • License Constant Guardian
    – 3rd Party sells/markets Constant Guardian
    – Whitelabel
  • Our initial customers are utilizing annual subscriptions

Market

The global cyber security market is valued at $139.77B in 2021 and is projected to grow from $155.83B in 2022 to $376.32B by 2029, at a CAGR of 13.4%

The Operational Technology (Industrial Control System) cyber security market is valued at $15.5B in 2021 and will maintain a CAGR of 15.8% from 2022 to 2027 to reach $32.4B.

Just the US Target Market involves:

  • Water treatment systems: Approximately 153,000 public water systems and 16,000 publicly owned wastewater treatment systems
  • Dams: Almost 92,000 dams across US [and Puerto Rico and Guam]
  • Pipelines: 305,000 miles of interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines, part of over 210 natural gas Pipeline systems
  • Power Plants: More than 25,000 electric generators at about 12,500 utility-scale electric power plants
  • Refineries: 130 refineries and 311 petrochemical facilities

Our early focus is planned to be on smaller, less complicated systems such as water treatment plants to prove the value of the technology and build confidence in the product. Once established in that market, we plan to expand internationally with water treatment plants and then expand into larger industrial control systems (dams, pipelines, power plants, refineries)
