A new era for critical infrastructure

Operators of critical infrastructure in sectors such as defense, energy, utilities, transportation, telecom, water, chemicals, and manufacturing are under unprecedented pressure:

Rising threat from drones

From recreational misuse to sabotage, espionage, smuggling, and targeted attacks.

Mounting regulatory pressure

Complying with NIS2 and CER obligations requires demonstrable resilience and risk management.

Growing operational drone use

Drones are becoming indispensable for inspections, surveillance, emergency response, and asset monitoring.

Fragmented decision-making

Security, operations, and service providers often struggle to coordinate effectively.

The new hybrid threat landscape leads adversaries to treat the airspace above your site as an unguarded weak spot. With a drone, they can:

  • map your grounds, assets, and routines
  • drop a hazardous payload
  • carry out a kinetic attack
  • disrupt normal operations

Not because your perimeter is weak, but because it wasn’t designed to look up.

A strong physical security program is layered: fencing, access control, cameras, patrols, procedures — each layer covers what the previous cannot. SERIS has perfected that approach for decades at critical sites.

However, the CER directive raises the bar. CER stands for Critical Entities Resilience and is an EU directive intended to strengthen the resilience of critical organizations against physical and hybrid threats. CER covers disruptions of any origin — physical, technical, human, and natural. Hybrid threats such as sabotage, espionage, disruption, and targeted attacks now fall explicitly within scope.

An increasing share of that threat comes from above, where no ground-based layer — however well developed — is designed to help. The cost of a drone is also disproportionate to the potential damage it can cause.

SiteSecure: the definitive solution for aerial threats

SiteSecure is the definitive solution that, via a single integrated governance and security platform, transforms inputs into a single operational view of the airspace above your site.

From detection to action: structured airspace awareness over your site.

Site Security DITTA schema

SiteSecure adds the capability to detect aerial threats to your security system as well. It detects, identifies, tracks, and assesses the threat posed by drone activity. Alerts appear right where your security is already monitored: in the control room your team and SERIS share. No separate system or extra screens, but one additional layer of intelligence in the security model you already use — plus a documented process to activate your resilience plan immediately.

The response is proportional to the threat: both on-site and directed at the drone. SiteSecure also locates the pilot, enabling a patrol or counter-drone team to engage, collect evidence, and — where possible — take appropriate action.

SiteSecure is available as Detection-as-a-Service or as customer-owned infrastructure, integrated into SERIS Services & Solutions.
