We understand the co-op mission
Electric cooperatives aren't just utilities, they're member-owned organizations that power rural America. Their cybersecurity challenges are unique, and they deserve solutions built specifically for them, not enterprise castoffs scaled down and marked up.
What makes co-ops different makes them vulnerable
Co-ops face a distinct set of challenges that most cybersecurity vendors don't understand, and aren't built to solve.
Lean IT Teams
Most cooperatives have 1-3 IT staff, total. There is no dedicated security analyst, no SOC, no CISO. Yet the threat landscape they face is the same as a utility with 500 employees.
OT/IT Convergence
SCADA, AMI, distribution automation, co-op networks blur the line between IT and OT. That convergence is exactly where adversaries find gaps.
Vast Service Territories
A single co-op can cover thousands of square miles with substations connected by microwave, cellular, or satellite. Every remote site is an attack surface.
Compliance Pressure
NERC CIP doesn't care about your headcount. Co-ops face the same compliance standards as investor-owned utilities, with a fraction of the resources.
Nation-State Targeting
Adversaries like Volt Typhoon aren't just targeting Fortune 500 utilities. Critical infrastructure means all critical infrastructure, including the co-ops that serve rural America.
Member Accountability
Co-ops answer to their member-owners, not shareholders. A breach doesn't just damage a brand, it betrays community trust. The stakes are personal.
Security that fits the co-op model
Built for your reality
We don't sell you an enterprise platform and wish you luck. TITAN and our SOC are designed from the ground up for cooperative-sized teams, budgets, and networks.
Cooperative pricing
Predictable per-member pricing that works with your budget cycle, not per-seat enterprise licensing that punishes you for growing.
Fast deployment
Most co-ops are fully onboarded in under 30 days. We integrate with the tools you already have, no rip-and-replace required.
The cooperative model means we answer to our members, the families and businesses that depend on us for electricity every single day. Cybersecurity isn't optional for us. It's part of our obligation. SkyHelm is the first vendor that actually understood that.
Built for co-ops, by people who get it
Whether you serve 5,000 meters or 500,000, SkyHelm scales to fit your cooperative. Let's talk about what protecting your members looks like.
