Adversaries with the deepest capabilities
Defense systems face the most capable attackers in the world. The servers behind mission systems carry a power layer below the operating system, the part few tools watch.

Guarding the Power Behind Defense
PWX brings security to the power layer of defense infrastructure, the control chips beneath every server in your data centers and mission systems, the layer most security tools cannot see. Running as software on the fleet you already have, it maps the power chips across every site, watches how they behave in real time, and gives each event a clear verdict: normal, suspicious or attack.
Request a pilotDefense Security
Defense organizations and the industrial base behind them run mission-critical systems on fleets of servers, under constant pressure from the most capable adversaries. Every one of those servers relies on power control chips, managed through the BMC, that sit below the operating system and outside the view of most security tools. That makes the power layer a growing target for a sector where hardware integrity is mission integrity: state actors reach systems through the supply chain, attackers exploit server management chips, and idle compute is hijacked for hidden crypto mining. PWX brings visibility and fast detection to this layer, running as software on the fleet you already have and sending clear verdicts into the SOC tools you already use.
THE CHALLENGE
Server control chips under attack
Attackers already exploit server management chips, and researchers have shown that one command through them can bend a server's power to disrupt service or damage hardware.
Compute hijacked for hidden mining
Idle capacity across defense data centers is a quiet target for crypto miners that hide from monitoring tools. The power they draw is harder to hide.
PLATFORM
Discover. Monitor. Protect.
PWX Discover
Agentless. Finds every power component across the fleet, maps firmware to known CVEs and shows attack paths from an exposed BMC to GPU damage.
PWX Monitor
Continuous monitoring, alerts and SIEM export into Splunk or Datadog.
PWX Protect
Modules for millisecond detection by the PWX-01 agent on the BMC, up to PWX-06 inline blocking (roadmap).
COMPLIANCE
Evidence for every audit
Every verdict is recorded and summarized in regular reports your team can use as evidence for CMMC, NIST 800-171 and internal audits across your estate.
DEPLOYMENT
Scale across the mission without new hardware
PWX deploys as software across the existing fleet, from one site to thousands, with no new chips and no board redesign.
RUNNING ON OUR BENCH TODAY
Real detections, in the tools you already run.
Not a mockup. A live voltage attack pulled a rail from 5.21 V to 4.64 V and was detected in about 20 ms, streamed into Datadog and Splunk, the same tools your team already lives in.
