Industries

Built for the organizations that can't afford to go dark.

Spotlight is purpose-built for critical infrastructure environments — where downtime isn’t an inconvenience, it’s a public safety event. Select your industry below.

Electric Utilities & Co-ops

The grid is a target. Treat it like one.

Nation-state actors, ransomware groups, and unsophisticated opportunists are all actively probing energy infrastructure. Rural electric co-ops and municipal utilities are prime targets precisely because they’re resource-constrained — often one IT person managing decades of OT equipment with no visibility into what’s actually on the network.

Spotlight changes that equation. Agents deploy across your entire grid infrastructure and give you real-time visibility, threat detection, and remote remediation — without requiring a team of analysts or an expensive professional services engagement every time something goes wrong.

Water & Wastewater

Clean water is a public safety issue. So is your network.

Water and wastewater facilities are among the most targeted critical infrastructure sectors — and among the least defended. High-profile attacks on municipal water systems have already demonstrated that threat actors are willing to manipulate chemical treatment processes to cause direct harm.

Most water facilities operate with skeleton IT staff managing aging control systems that were never designed with cybersecurity in mind. Spotlight provides the visibility and automated remediation capability these teams need — without requiring a dedicated security team to operate it.

Manufacturing

Downtime doesn't just hurt. It costs.

Manufacturing is the most targeted sector for ransomware attacks globally. When production goes down, the losses are immediate and calculable — idle lines, spoiled inventory, missed contracts, and reputational damage. And the attack surface keeps expanding as factories modernize and connect more equipment to IT networks.

Spotlight gives your operations team real-time visibility and rapid remediation across the full IT/OT landscape — so a detected threat becomes a handled incident, not a three-day production halt.

Oil & Gas

Pipeline security can't wait for a service ticket.

The oil and gas sector operates some of the most complex and geographically distributed OT environments in the world — offshore platforms, pipeline SCADA systems, refineries, and processing facilities that run 24/7 with zero tolerance for unplanned downtime.

After Colonial Pipeline, the industry knows the stakes. But knowing the risk and having the tools to address it are different things. Spotlight bridges that gap — deploying agents across the full upstream, midstream, and downstream environment and giving operators the ability to act on threats in real time.

Local Government & Municipalities

Protecting the systems communities depend on.

City halls, county agencies, emergency dispatch centers, traffic management systems, and public works operations run on a patchwork of aging IT and OT infrastructure — managed by small teams with general IT backgrounds, not cybersecurity specialists.

Ransomware groups specifically target municipalities because they know that public entities face intense pressure to restore services quickly, often making them more likely to pay. Spotlight gives local government the enterprise-grade protection that was previously only available to large agencies with large budgets — at a price point that makes sense for public sector.

The Challenges You're Dealing With

💸

Enterprise protection on public budgets

Most enterprise cybersecurity tools are priced for Fortune 500 procurement teams. Municipal IT departments operate under strict budget constraints, often with no dedicated security line item at all.

🧩

Mixed legacy and modern systems

Traffic signals, 911 dispatch infrastructure, building management systems, and permit databases — all running on different platforms, many of which haven't been updated in years, sitting on the same network.

👥

No dedicated security staff

The IT director is also the helpdesk. The network admin also manages the city website. There's no CISO, no SOC, and no one whose job it is to watch for threats — until something goes catastrophically wrong.

How Spotlight Helps

01 — ACCESSIBILITY

Enterprise-grade security. Public sector pricing.

Starting at $100/month per 25 endpoints, Spotlight is designed to be attainable for organizations that can't justify six-figure security tool budgets. No professional services fees. No hidden costs. Just protection.

02 — SIMPLICITY

Built for generalist IT teams

Spotlight's LLM translates complex security events into plain English. Your IT director doesn't need to be a cybersecurity expert to understand what's happening and what to do about it. The platform does the heavy lifting.

03 — BREADTH

All your systems. One view.

From the city network to traffic management to building automation systems, Spotlight covers the full technology footprint of a municipal operation — IT and OT alike — in a single dashboard that any team member can use.

04 — CONTINUITY

Keep services running for residents

Rapid threat detection and remote remediation means incidents get contained before they become outages. Residents keep access to the services they depend on. Your team keeps its nights and weekends. Everyone wins.
