The Latest Red Piranha News


Cybersecurity is evolving faster than ever, with organisations facing increasingly sophisticated threats, expanding attack surfaces, and growing regulatory expectations. Staying resilient today requires more than deploying the right technologies; it demands continuous innovation, greater visibility, and the ability to adapt as the threat landscape changes.

At Red Piranha, that commitment to innovation continues to drive the evolution of the Crystal Eye ecosystem. Crystal Eye 6.0 helps organisations simplify security operations and strengthen cyber resilience through AI-enhanced threat detection, an advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF), Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)-ready SD-WAN, flexible Deployment Modes for faster implementation, tightened endpoint control with CEASR and an enhanced Orchestrate platform featuring a more comprehensive CMDB. Together, these capabilities provide greater visibility, stronger protection, and more effective security management across IT, OT, cloud, and critical infrastructure environments.

Read on for the latest product updates, industry insights, and initiatives from the Red Piranha team this month.

Knowledge Sprint: From Scope to Deployment: Building SP2-Ready OT Security for Critical Infrastructure


Graphic with text Knowledge Sprint: From Scope to Deployment: Building SP2-Ready OT Security for Critical Infrastructure, speakers and event details
As cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure continue to grow, organisations need a clear understanding of their critical OT assets, operational dependencies, and ability to maintain essential services during a cyber incident.

In this Knowledge Sprint, we will demonstrate a practical approach to improving OT security maturity, supporting CIRMP obligations, and building a roadmap towards AESCSF SP2 readiness.

Attendees will learn how to identify critical systems, assess isolation capabilities, strengthen resilience, and enhance operational continuity through proven OT security and incident response practices.

Crystal Eye Platform Updates - August


Graphic with text ‘Crystal Eye Platform Updates’ Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and so is Crystal Eye.

Our upcoming 6.0 release introduces a range of innovations designed to help organisations improve security, simplify operations, and prepare for future threats.

Highlights include:
  • Integrated Web Application Firewall (WAF)
  • Post-Quantum Cryptography for future-ready security
  • Protective DNS enhancements to stop threats earlier
  • Improved vulnerability management and reporting
  • Enhanced security monitoring across segmented environments
  • Faster, more flexible deployment options
  • Expanded visibility through Orchestrate and CESOC enhancements
Backed by new high-performance hardware platforms and enhanced reporting capabilities, Crystal Eye 6.0 delivers greater protection, visibility, and operational efficiency across your cybersecurity ecosystem.

Watch this space for launch updates and feature deep-dives.

As a reminder, Crystal Eye 5.0 is approaching end-of-life, and we strongly recommend upgrading to 5.5 to remain supported and ready for the 6.0 transition.

Service Spotlight:
OT Cybersecurity for Mining


Graphic with text Secure OT. Strengthen Resilience. Start Your CIRMP Journey
The clocks are already running. Australia's Enhanced CIRMP Rules landed on 10 June 2026, and most large miners are in scope not because mining is named in the SOCI Act, but because of the ports, rail, electricity, gas and water assets they already own.

First deadline: 10 June 2027. Full uplift: 10 June 2028.

Mining OT was never built to be defended. Autonomous haulage and drilling run on wireless, which means jamming and spoofing are now safety events. Remote operations centres give one compromise the reach of an entire portfolio. Vendor tunnels into mills and crushers are a standing front door. And legacy plant control, specified with the mine plan and running for decades, can't take an agent or a patch.

Red Piranha secures mining operational technology from pit to port, mapped to IEC 62443 zones and conduits: autonomous fleet, processing plant, mine services and safety, tailings and water, rail and port, and the remote operations centre. Crystal Eye delivers segmentation, threat detection and response, and secure remote access, backed by a 24/7 sovereign Australian SOC. For the unpatchable legacy devices everywhere else on site, PECA (Passive Encryption Control Application) baselines normal behaviour and enforces it - no agents, no active scanning, no disruption to production.

The engagement runs as a six-stage program, not a one-off audit. Red Piranha defines the regulated assets and critical workers per jurisdiction, assesses risk against your chosen framework, then designs the zone and conduit model with target security levels and isolation points.

Deployment follows an observe, simulate and enforce sequence - sensors run out-of-band first, policies are tested against captured traffic, and enforcement rolls out in stages with operations sign-off. So, nothing goes live untested on a working site. From there it's continuous: a 24/7 SOC cadence, detection tuning and incident response drills against the 12- and 72-hour reporting clocks, all feeding straight into the annual assurance evidence.

The result isn't just a hardened site. It's the evidence your board and your regulator will actually ask for; an annual CIRMP report backed by 18 months of log retention and forensic detail on demand.
