If you’re in the Energy, Natural Resources, and Utilities industry, you’re often the backbone of a society’s critical infrastructure. But if the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that every industry can be a target for cybercriminals.

With an increased focus on digitization, cloud, and operational technology (OT) and the rise of sophisticated ransomware, malware, bad actors, and hacktivists, cyber security for energy has never been more important.

To avoid operational disruption and data breaches and to keep ahead in a hyper-competitive environment, your enterprise will need to take proactive measures to secure what matters.

From investing in cyber security for utilities strategies to leveling up your existing threat monitoring capabilities with artificial intelligence and predictive insights, you will need to approach security holistically, especially as you modernize to improve user experience and support complex remote field operations.

Energy and utilities have long been a prime target for threat actors because they handle and store vast amounts of IP and innovation gained over decades. Information may be stored on vulnerable legacy systems ill-equipped for cyber security for utilities frameworks.
