AI-native operations, without becoming a national-security story.
Tokto is the AI accountability infrastructure underneath every substation, every pipeline, every terminal, and every control-room AI — the foundation that satisfies the regulator and the insurer at the same time.
A ransomware event halts operations across two facilities. The press has the story. CISA calls. The board asks how AI is supervised across the OT side. No one has an answer that survives the conversation.
What you get with Tokto
- Every AI capability the utility or port ships across IT, OT, and vendor integrations, governed and recorded.
- A single system of record that CISA, NERC, FERC, TSA, MARSEC, the insurer, and the board read against the same evidence.
- Policy applied at the prompt across every control-room co-pilot, every field assistant, every vendor AI integration.
- AI advantage at the speed of the grid and the terminal, with the audit trail the company cannot afford to be without.
How it works
Tokto is the AI operating foundation of the utility and the port. Every co-pilot, every inspection model, every scheduling assistant is supervised at the moment of output. The record is enterprise-owned, immutable, and queryable by asset, by facility, by event. The higher the company's AI ambitions go, the deeper this foundation has to be.
When the company wants AI-native operations without a CISA escalation, when the company wants rate-case AI cost recovery, when the company wants the board confidence to invest, the answer is one supervised control plane. The CEO ships uptime, not headlines.
What goes wrong without it
- A ransomware halts operations through a vendor AI integration. The carrier of record is named in a Senate hearing.
- A NERC CIP penalty runs into seven figures over an AI integration. The board funds the response from operating margin.
- A port AI integration leaks manifests. State and federal agencies open joint inquiries. Customer carriers redirect.
- The board freezes AI investment after two quarters of unaccounted spend. The competing utility scales AI-native operations.
On August 24, 2024, Rhysida ransomware shut down the Port of Seattle, isolating critical systems across Sea-Tac International Airport, Fishermen's Terminal, and public marinas. The Port refused a $6 million ransom; in 2025 it confirmed 90,000 individuals had their personal data taken. In March 2025 NERC issued CIP-003-9, CIP-005-7, CIP-010-4, and CIP-013-2 to harden BES Cyber Systems against ransomware and nation-state actors moving at machine speed across IT/OT seams.
