Reality Over Theory
Brownfield-first execution
Built for existing plants, constrained networks, and mixed vendor environments instead of greenfield assumptions.
Consequence-Based OT Security
OT Security for Real-World Operations
Assessment-ready consulting and low-friction OT tooling for visibility, risk assessment, and controlled testing without production drag, heavyweight agents, or vendor lock-in.
Consequence-based means starting with what failure does to uptime, safety, and operations, then building visibility and testing workflows around that reality.
200+
Industrial site deployments led across mining, oil and gas, water, and power
4,500
Field devices on one cloud-connected industrial network spanning 200+ remote sites
17+ yrs
Designing industrial network architecture for control systems and plant operations
-40°C to +40°C
Operating conditions supported in mines, remote fields, and exposed industrial sites
Why River Risk Partners Exists
Traditional IT security assumptions break down in plants, substations, mines, and remote industrial networks. River Risk applies consequence-based security so teams can act on what matters operationally.
Uptime & Safety First
OT priorities stay intact
Preserve production and safety while building visibility, evidence, and response options for operators and plant leadership.
Actionable Independence
Operators keep sovereignty
Practical tooling and workflows for plant teams, assessors, and engineers who need results without heavy outside dependencies.
Software Ecosystem
Four purpose-built tools for different OT workflows. They integrate where useful, but each product stands on its own.
Passive Mapping / Flagship
MarlinSpike
Passive OT topology mapping with Purdue level auto-classification and industrial protocol deconstruction from a single pcap. Zero external dependencies.
Flow Analysis
Prism
OpenFlow visualization for deep protocol and pipeline inspection in environments where operator readability matters as much as packet detail.
Network Emulation
Artifice
OT network emulation for training, planning, DPI testing, and scenario rehearsal without touching a live plant.
Offensive Engagements
Voracity
Custom tooling and authorized pentesting for IEC 62443 readiness, control validation, and adversary simulation.
Services
Consulting and training
Consequence-based assessments, operator-safe consulting engagements, and structured two-day OT security training for teams that need practical execution, not theory slides.
Assess
Plant-floor risk and visibility
Map environments, identify consequence paths, and establish usable assessment context.
Train
Structured two-day OT security class
Hands-on workflows, IEC 62443 application, and operationally grounded team enablement.
Field Notes
Read the thinking before you buy
The writing is part of the product. It explains the operational model, the failure modes, and the assumptions River Risk is built around.
The Frozen Lifeline
Extreme-environment networking, uptime, and why consequence framing matters in the field.
Our OT Cybersecurity Strategy Has a Physics Problem
Why OT security fails when it ignores physical reality, process constraints, and plant-floor consequences.
