The energy sector is at risk of cyber attack:
data theft, billing fraud, the remote takeover and control of an energy provider's digital infrastructure.
Energy sector organisations have benefited from digitalisation. However, as a critical national infrastructure, even the smallest vulnerability can cause wide-ranging disruptions that have devastating consequences. As well as affecting customers, cyber attacks can cause financial loss and reputational damage. We can design a package of solutions to combat the specific threats faced by the energy sector.
Strengthen cyber security in the energy industry
What you should consider
Is your customer data adequately protected?
Customer data is extremely valuable to hackers. Protecting it is vital. Have you taken the necessary steps to ensure it remains safe in your hands?
Is your payment process secure?
Payment processing happens frequently in the energy industry. PCI DSS compliance is a necessary standard; it demonstrates your commitment to protecting your customers' credit card and bank details.
Identifying and responding to breaches
Do you have procedures in place to identify and respond swiftly to cyber attacks? Our vulnerability monitoring service will help you keep on top of potential threats and prevent any embarrassing breaches, giving you complete peace of mind.
Are you compliant?
Studies have shown that an alarming number of energy companies are not PCI DSS, NIS Directive and GDPR compliant. Meeting these standards is essential; they prove you're committed to protecting customers' sensitive data.
Cyber security challenges the energy industry faces
- Reducing supply chain cyber risks
- Averting attacks intended to disrupt essential energy services and cause national crisis
- Complying with a range of regulatory security standards
