Closing the door is half the job.

Every action Findavi takes ends with two questions.

The security check. Is the unauthorized path closed? Findavi confirms the blocked connection no longer carries traffic.

The service check. Is the plant still working? Findavi confirms that the approved traffic it can see still flows: operator screens still talk to their controllers, and the grid operator's data still arrives.

Both must pass. A fix that stops the attacker and silences an alarm has traded one risk for another.

Where the network stops and people take over. Findavi sees the network. It does not stand next to the turbine. The process itself, steam pressure, water quality, a running motor, is confirmed by the operator on site. The best response pairs the two: the network check from Findavi, the physical check from the crew.

Proof that lasts. Every alert, approval, action and check lands in an audit trail with a time and a name. When the regulator, the insurer or your own board asks what happened, the answer is already written down.

All of this runs on the Findavi appliance inside your site. The analysis happens on the device, and your plant's data stays there.
