Securing Your Supply Chain from Cyberattacks
Until recently, utilities and the energy industry wasn’t overly worried about the threat of cyberattacks.
From the risk of a cyber attack to noncompliance, third parties are energy and utilities biggest cybersecurity vulnerability.
of utilities and energy organizations experienced a supply chain related data breach in the past year
The fourth industrial revolution is here. Once remotely inaccessible, industrial control systems and IIoT devices are now commonplace within the energy and utilities industry. But these systems are often unsecured and heavily targeted by hackers. The most common entry point hackers are after is third-party remote access to industrial controls systems and IIoT. Third-party vendors are granted privileged remote access to perform ongoing maintenance and support. Industrial organizations struggle to fully secure this access and rely on traditional remote support methods like VPNs and desktop sharing solutions, which each have vulnerabilities that are easily exploited by hackers. Without the centralized oversight, visibility, and control needed to reduce third-party and other access risks, industrial organizations are susceptible to attack and will continue to struggle to meet cybersecurity access standards for NERC and NIST.
Key cybersecurity priorities for energy companies and utilities:
Meet NERC CIP cybersecurity standards for third-party access
Secure IT and OT networks, industrial control systems, and data from internal and external cyber threats to the energy sector
Maintain uptime of critical infrastructure and ensure availability of energy systems
