Why it matters

Albania's critical infrastructure is already under threat

The 2022 attack on AKSHI proved Albania is a real and active target. Energy, aviation and water infrastructure depend on connected operational technology that was never designed to be secure.

  • Albanian Law 17/2023 & NIS2 designate energy, aviation & water as essential entities
  • OT/IT convergence creates attack paths from enterprise networks into operational plant
  • EU accession requires NIS2-aligned CNI cyber resilience

What we do

How we help

From passive asset discovery and network segmentation review through to continuous monitoring, incident response and NIS2 compliance evidence.

01

OT Asset Discovery & Inventory

Passive, non-disruptive discovery of PLCs, HMIs, SCADA historians, RTUs and sensors via Lansweeper industrial protocol scanning.

02

OT Network Segmentation & Architecture

Architecture review aligned to the Purdue Model and IEC 62443 zones and conduits — eliminating lateral movement paths.

03

Vulnerability & Risk Assessment

Passive vulnerability identification, firmware analysis and CVE correlation — without disrupting live operations.

04

Continuous OT Monitoring & IR

OT-aware monitoring with SIEM integration, industrial protocol anomaly detection and OT-specific IR playbooks.

Pain points we address

Sound familiar?

01

No OT asset inventory

Most operators can't say how many PLCs they have or which SCADA servers are internet-facing.

02

OT/IT convergence opens new paths

Remote access and monitoring links have created unmonitored routes into plant.

03

Ageing ICS with no patch management

End-of-life PLCs and unpatched historians are common — without inventory, no plan.

04

No OT-specific incident response

OT incidents can be physical. Generic IT playbooks don't account for operational safety.

05

NIS2 & Law 17/2023 are now mandatory

Essential entities must demonstrate NIS2-aligned OT controls and incident reporting.

Why SquareVertex.AI

What you get with us

Lansweeper OT partnership

Agentless, non-disruptive, industrial protocol-aware discovery we deploy and operate.

Albania-specific CNI knowledge

Law 17/2023, AKSK requirements and EU accession criteria — local context global MSSPs miss.

OT + IT integration

SOC, IAM, GRC and OT connected through one partner — no gaps at the boundary.

IEC 62443 & NIS2 expertise

Controls mapped to zones and conduits, with the 24-hour notification framework.

Non-disruptive to live operations

Passive techniques only — no scan-induced crashes, no production interruptions.

Free first step

Start with a free OT Visibility Scan

We'll deploy Lansweeper passively at one site — a substation, airport zone or treatment facility — and produce a complete OT asset inventory and exposure report within 5 days.
