Platform · Vectors & methodology

The HybridSense AI engine behind each external run.

HybridSense AI supports external cybersecurity visibility for industrial environments, including OT, SCADA, IIoT gateways, facility infrastructure, and hybrid IT/OT systems exposed to the internet.

Designed for both: traditional perimeters that need reliable monthly checks, and mixed IT/OT environments where an exposed gateway can affect physical processes.

Global Presence Operational scope

Built for geographically distributed operations.

HybridSense AI is designed and developed in South Africa, supporting operational deployments and security assessments across Africa and international environments. Our architecture is built to operate securely across geographic boundaries, supporting region-specific compliance requirements and globally hosted systems.

Delivery model

Controlled onboarding

Engagements are initiated through direct contact to ensure scope, authorisation, and operational guardrails are defined upfront, supporting enterprise governance and audit readiness.

Deployment

Cross-border by design

Runs can be aligned to specific regions, maintenance windows, and operational constraints–ideal for distributed teams and multi-region infrastructure.

Governance

Enterprise-aligned controls

The platform supports structured reporting, evidence-led findings, and repeatable run history–helping teams demonstrate control effectiveness and risk reduction over time.

Compliance & Governance Alignment

Designed to support regulated environments.

HybridSense AI is designed to support organisations operating under recognised information security and governance frameworks, including ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, and sector-specific regulatory requirements. The platform provides structured evidence, repeatable assessments, and auditable outputs to assist internal security, risk, and compliance programmes.

Vector 01 Discovery & asset mapping

Understand what is truly exposed before talking about risk.

Before we talk about vulnerabilities, we need to agree on what the outside world can actually see. HybridSense AI builds an inventory of exposed assets and services for each run, then compares it to the previous baseline.

Assets

Domains, subdomains & IP ranges

Identification of domains, subdomains, DNS records and ranges in scope – including entries discovered from public sources and certificates.

Services

Ports & protocol fingerprinting

Lightweight, safe port and service discovery to understand which services are reachable, and how they identify themselves to the internet.

Context

Baseline and change tracking

Each run is compared to the previous baseline to surface new services, retired systems and configuration changes that may carry risk.

Vector 02 Vulnerability & misconfiguration analysis

Curated checks tuned for internet-facing infrastructure.

HybridSense AI prioritises checks that have a clear external impact: exposed admin interfaces, weak or broken TLS, default credentials, outdated components and unsafe configurations on gateways and remote access.

Vector 02-A · Web & API

Public websites, portals & APIs

Focused on internet-facing web apps and APIs, including authentication, encryption and common misconfigurations.

Typical findings: outdated frameworks, missing security headers, weak TLS, exposed admin panels, information disclosure via error pages.

Vector 02-B · Access

VPN, remote access & jump points

External view of VPN endpoints, remote access portals and bastions – often the first stop for attackers targeting internal systems.

Typical findings: weak cipher suites, outdated firmware banners, default or guessable portals and excessive exposure of management interfaces.

Vector 02-C · Email

Email security & hygiene

High-level checks on MX configuration and external posture to support phishing and spoofing risk assessments.

Typical findings: missing or weak SPF/DKIM/DMARC, insecure mail protocols and legacy endpoints that should be retired.

Vector 02-D · OT / IIoT edges

Bridges into industrial and facility networks

Focused on gateways, MQTT brokers, management portals and remote support paths that sit between the internet and OT or facilities networks.

Typical findings: open management interfaces, poorly segmented telemetry paths, and generic VPNs that indirectly expose sensitive zones.

Vector 03 Run lifecycle

How a typical HybridSense AI run is executed.

Runs are carefully scoped and scheduled. You retain full control of timing, aggressiveness and which Vectors are active – especially important when OT is nearby.

Step 01

Scope & guardrails

We agree on targets, regions, maintenance windows and any zones that must be excluded or treated with extra caution (e.g. live OT gateways).

Step 02

Discovery pass

Asset and service discovery runs first, keeping activity as light as possible while building a useful picture of your perimeter.

Step 03

Targeted checks per Vector

For each in-scope Vector (Web, VPN, Email, OT edges, etc.) we run appropriate checks, tuned to avoid unnecessary noise or instability.

Step 04

Optional exploit validation

Where permitted, we can safely validate selected critical issues to confirm impact, always within agreed safety limits and windows.

Step 05

Reporting & integration

Results are normalised, prioritised and exported into formats suitable for NEO dashboards, SIEM, ticketing and executive reporting.

Vector 04 Traditional vs OT coverage

One platform, tuned differently for each environment.

The same engine serves small businesses, large enterprises and critical infrastructure – the difference is in scope, guardrails and depth per Vector.

Scenario	Typical scope	Frequency	Primary Vectors
Small / branch perimeter	1–2 domains, a few internet-facing services	Monthly or quarterly	Web, VPN / remote access, Email
Enterprise perimeter	Multiple domains, regions and environments	Monthly with ad-hoc runs on change	Web, VPN, Email, cloud edge & SSO
OT / SCADA & facilities	Gateways, telemetry paths, support access, portals	Quarterly or aligned with process windows	OT edges, Web, VPN, vendor access paths

Vector 05 Working with partners

HybridSense AI as the technical lens in broader programmes.

For AI risk, PQC and GRC specialists, HybridSense AI can quietly power the external technical view – leaving you free to focus on governance, strategy and business alignment.

Joint delivery

Co-branded external runs

Runs can be branded under your organisation while we operate the engine and reporting in the background.

Data feeds

API & export options

Structured outputs for ingestion into your own portals, dashboards and GRC tooling.

Flexibility

Custom scopes & programmes

From one-off perimeter reviews to ongoing programmes aligned with your own frameworks and methodologies.
