Network engineering. Validated. Secured.
Synapse AI brings design intelligence and an AI-enabled cyber digital twin to the trusted secure-by-design platform. Enhance every stage of the network lifecycle — from architecture generation to review, interrogation and validated delivery — with the assurance of IEC 62443 compliance, governance and full traceability.
Benefits
AI supporting secure-by-design
Synapse AI supports an optimised, defensible network-design process — with compliance, integrity and control maintained at every step.
Task automation
Repetitive design and documentation work — zoning, addressing, report assembly — handled by AI so engineers spend their time on judgement, not transcription.
Data integrity
Every AI-assisted action is captured against the model with full traceability — the as-designed record never drifts from the architecture it describes.
Robust governance
Access control, version control and a complete audit trail. Human-in-the-loop oversight on every suggestion — nothing is applied without an engineer's sign-off.
Data security
Your topology, addressing and protocol data stay inside a governed, validated platform. No silent training, no leakage — security by design extends to the AI itself.
IEC 61850 digital twin platform
An AI-enabled cyber digital twin
Model the network as living data, then let AI reason over it — design resilient utility networks, validate performance, and reduce risk before a cable is pulled.
Engineer the digital twin
Model IEC 61850 substations including IEDs, switches, VLANs and fibre connectivity in one unified system view — assets, addressing and protocols as first-class, queryable data.
Validate & simulate
Trace GOOSE and SV paths, analyse failover behaviour across PRP / RSTP architectures, and evaluate communication performance — latency, bandwidth, saturation — before commissioning.
Network engineering, validated and secured
Grid software engineers design and validate mission-critical utility communication networks — including digital-twin modelling of IEC 61850 signal paths, PRP/RSTP architectures, and real communication behaviour before commissioning.
Design → check → twin
From a drag-drop design to a live cyber range
The same validated model compiles to a provenance-pinned manifest a cyber range can ingest — so the architecture you checked statically is the one that gets attacked empirically.
Model
The architect designs the site on the drag-drop canvas — assets, zones, conduits, addressing.
Check
Deterministic validation against IEC 62443 runs in the browser. Green is the gate to compile.
Compile
Emit a vendor-neutral Cyber Digital Twin Manifest (JSON/YAML), pinned to the exact design.
Instantiate
A range ingests it and spins up the twin: VMs, virtual segments, firewalls and IEC 61850 simulators.
Attack & prove
Scripted pen-testing at the SL-T adversary tier. Every control is empirically tested, results loop back.

}SL-T is the adversary spec
IEC 62443 Security Levels are threat-actor capability tiers — so a zone's target SL selects which adversary the range emulates against it.
Deterministic & provenance-pinned
The same model emits a byte-identical manifest, pinned to the design snapshot — range runs stay comparable across revisions.
A closing loop, not a one-shot
Results map back to the same assets and conduits — a control the range breaks becomes a finding on the canvas.
Vendor-neutral by design
One canonical manifest; thin adapters transpile to CyRIN, Airbus CyberRange, Caldera, Containerlab or Heat.
Capabilities
The AI inside
AI Design Assistant
Automatically flag what needs your attention most — segmentation gaps, missing conduits, unsafe remote access — letting you focus on critical engineering decisions rather than routine checks.
Generate documentation
Cybersecurity requirement specs, zone/conduit reports, firewall rule schedules and as-designed records, produced in a dependable, compliant way across the organisation.
Conversational insight
Get instant answers through conversational guidance: “trace every GOOSE path through this conduit”, “where does the OEM VPN terminate?” — grounded in the live model.
Cyber digital twin
Leverage the model more than ever before — an AI-enabled IEC 61850 digital twin connecting IEDs, switches, VLANs and fibre, with big-data APIs to support wider initiatives.
