Digitalware Reduces Cyber Risk for Utilities
For utilities, the threat of cyberattacks goes far beyond direct costs. Everyone — and every industry — relies on utilities for health, safety, security, and prosperity.
In this industry brief, we examine cybersecurity issues for utilities, including:
Specific challenges facing each industry segment: oil & gas, water, and electricity.
Successful real-world cyberattacks on power grids.
How US energy infrastructure has been infiltrated by malicious actors.
The availability of hacking tools on the Dark Web.
What IT organizations do today — and what they can’t do — to address cyber risks.
Why utilities must do more to detect and mitigate risks before cyberattacks occur.
We then draw on sources like the Harvard Business Review to frame solution requirements — what questions need to be answered.
Finally, we discuss “Risk Hunting” tools, like our Epiphany Intelligence Platform, that help answer these critical questions.
