Critical Infrastructure Developers
You're building the systems that keep civilization running. Why are you still using data infrastructure that creates single points of failure?
You're here to secure power grids, water systems, and pipeline networks that millions of people depend on every day. But your critical infrastructure runs on data systems designed for consumer apps. Your SCADA networks fall apart when connectivity drops. Your firmware updates take months to deploy because you're terrified of bricking systems that can't afford downtime.
Critical infrastructure demands infrastructure-grade data management. Time to stop accepting consumer-grade reliability for civilization-critical systems.
Source gives you a verifiable database that runs directly on grid hardware — from smart meters to pipeline controllers to substation automation systems. With DefraDB, your critical infrastructure gets cryptographic integrity, offline-first operation, and tamper-proof auditability built for the stakes you're actually dealing with.
The Consumer-Grade Thinking That's Endangering Critical Systems
You came here to protect critical infrastructure, not to debug why your grid monitoring stops working during network outages:
The entire industrial software industry treats critical infrastructure like office applications — cloud-first platforms designed for consumer convenience being forced into systems where failure means blackouts
Your cybersecurity is built on wishful thinking — because verification systems that require internet connectivity can be compromised or become unreachable during the attacks you're trying to defend against
Critical decisions wait for cloud authorization — while power grids and water systems operate on physics timescales that don't wait for network roundtrips to data centers
Firmware updates are deployment nightmares — manual processes that take months to coordinate across thousands of devices, leaving known vulnerabilities unpatched during critical periods
Compliance auditing is archaeological work — reconstructing what happened requires piecing together logs from dozens of disconnected systems that weren't designed to provide authoritative records
Every network dependency is a potential attack vector — because your "secure" critical infrastructure secretly depends on internet connectivity to function properly
Critical infrastructure deserves better than security theater built on consumer cloud platforms. Every day you accept these limitations, you're gambling with public safety.
Build critical infrastructure that's actually critical-infrastructure-grade
DefraDB runs natively on industrial control hardware.
No more cloud dependencies for life-safety decisions. No more manual processes for security patches. No more accepting that critical infrastructure has to be less reliable than smartphones.
What becomes possible when you stop accepting consumer-grade solutions for civilization-critical problems:
Cryptographically bulletproof operations
Every sensor reading, control command, and firmware update is signed and tamper-evident from the moment it's created
True offline-first resilience
Grid components coordinate autonomously during network outages, because critical infrastructure can't wait for internet permission to operate
Zero-trust device coordination
Peer-to-peer verification ensures system integrity even when central control systems are compromised or unreachable
Automated security patch deployment
Firmware updates distributed peer-to-peer with cryptographic verification, cutting vulnerability windows from months to hours
Compliance-grade audit trails
Immutable, tamper-evident logs that provide authoritative proof of every action for regulatory investigations
Attack-resistant data flows
Edge-to-cloud optimization that reduces attack surface while maintaining operational intelligence
What You Actually Get
Months of critical infrastructure security development eliminated
Stop building custom sync systems and security verification for every piece of grid hardware
Deploy one cryptographically secure database from edge sensors to control center SCADA systems
Handle NERC CIP, ISO 27001, and national security compliance with built-in verification instead of bolt-on audit systems
Enable automated vulnerability patching across massive device fleets without risking operational disruption
Build resilient systems that maintain security and functionality during cyberattacks, natural disasters, and network outages
