Proposal: Commercial Applications - Cyberspatial's Teleseer is transitioning from the military (USSF/NIWC) to the commercial sector by applying Cyberspatial "Mission Relevant Terrain in Cyberspace" (MRT-C) methodology to high-stakes business environments.
The U.S. Military (DOW) uses Teleseer to protect vital satellite command links and tactical networks, commercial enterprises use it to solve the "visibility gap"—seeing exactly how data moves across complex, often unmapped systems.
__________________________________________________________________________
1. Commercial Satellite & Space Traffic -
The commercial space sector is shifting toward "Software-Defined Satellites" and massive constellations (LEO) that function like flying data centers.
Network Visualization: Teleseer maps the intricate handoffs between ground stations, teleports, and orbiting payloads. It treats the satellite link as just another network segment, allowing operators to see the "topology" of their space architecture in 3D.
Interdependency Mapping: In commercial space, a single ground-station vulnerability can jeopardize an entire constellation. Teleseer identifies "Bridge Scores"—chokepoints where a single point of failure could disrupt data delivery for customers.
2. Power, Water, & Electric Utilities (OT/ICS) -
Utilities are the most direct "civilian" equivalent to military infrastructure. They rely on Operational Technology (OT) that often lacks modern security agents.
Passive Monitoring: Unlike standard IT scanners that can crash sensitive utility controllers (PLCs), Teleseer is 100% passive. It analyzes packet captures (PCAPs) to build a "digital twin" of the grid without ever "poking" the hardware.
Protocol Intelligence: Teleseer supports 50+ ICS/SCADA protocols (like DNP3 for electricity or Modbus for water). It can spot when a valve controller is receiving "unusual" commands that could indicate a cyber-physical attack or a configuration error.
Bridging the Air Gap: It visually exposes unauthorized "bridges" where a technician might have plugged a guest Wi-Fi router into a high-security substation network.
3. Financial Transactions & Banking -
For financial institutions, the "Mission Relevant Terrain" is the path a transaction takes from a customer's phone to the core banking ledger.
Transaction Latency & Forensics: In high-frequency trading or retail banking, "time is money." Teleseer’s timeline features allow engineers to "play back" network traffic to find exactly where a packet was delayed or dropped during a transaction surge.
Compliance & Auditing: Banks are required to prove network segmentation (e.g., PCI-DSS). Teleseer generates automated maps that serve as visual proof to regulators that sensitive "cardholder data environments" are truly isolated from the public internet.
Insider Threat Detection: By establishing a behavioral baseline of how servers usually talk to each other, Teleseer can flag when a database suddenly starts "exfiltrating" large volumes of data to an unusual internal host—a classic sign of an insider threat.\
Summary: Commercial Use Case Comparison
| Sector | Mission Relevant Terrain (MRT) | Key Teleseer Benefit |
| SatCom | Ground-to-Space command links | Visualizing 3D orbital-to-ground handoffs. |
| Utilities | Turbine/Valve controllers & PLCs | 100% Passive mapping of sensitive OT. |
| Finance | Core banking ledgers & SWIFT gates | Forensic "DVR" playback of transaction traffic. |
| M&A | Target company's "Shadow IT" | Rapidly seeing the risk before merging networks. |
