Specialised cybersecurity platform SentryOT, created by Romanian energy engineering company Enevo, is designed as “an end-to-end resilience platform for the energy sector”, its developers have said.

Enevo is a leading engineering, procurement and construction contractor in Romania working across the entire energy value chain. It unveiled the SentryOT platform, developed by its in-house cybersecurity division, during the first half of 2025.

The platform is designed for operational technology (OT) including solar and wind power plants, battery energy storage systems (BESS), substations and automated grid networks.

Enevo’s move into cybersecurity was driven by customer demand, with the first request coming from Romania’s transmission system operator.

Mircea Stremtan, director of sales & marketing at SentryOT, told pv magazine Enevo differs from its competitors in cybersecurity due to its background in energy rather than IT.

“Enevo was built around real energy infrastructure, so we understand the operational and physical consequences that a cybersecurity failure can have. We have developed our cybersecurity expertise alongside that experience in the energy sector, rather than starting with an IT cybersecurity platform and adapting it to energy,” Stremtan explained.

“There were already very good cybersecurity solutions on the market, but we saw a need for a platform tailored to the specific requirements of energy infrastructure.”

While demonstrating the platform to pv magazine , Stremtan highlighted that SentryOT first completes an asset inventory highlighting the vendor, model, version and firmware of each device. It then manages the assets over time, checking whether anyone has modified them, whether there are known vulnerabilities in that firmware and whether newer versions are available.
