Aperio Systems, which secures critical infrastructure, today announced a strategic investment from Energias de Portugal (EDP), one of Europe’s largest utilities. EDP was joined in the round of financing by Data Point Capital, Jump Capital, and Scopus Ventures.
Aperio Systems’ proprietary Intrusion prevention system based on Data Forgery Protection™ (DFP) technology detects artificial manipulations of industrial process data. From the rate of gas flow at a petroleum refinery to the temperature and spin rates of turbines in a power plant or chlorine levels of water supply networks, Aperio Systems aims to deliver the last line of defense in protecting critical assets against inside and external threats.
