Power utility companies
Despite a shortage of skilled staff and resources, 59% of power and utilities CEOs report that cybersecurity specialists are the most critical new role within their organization.
A recent survey reveals that 48% of CEOs say an attack against critical infrastructure is imminent. The good news is that power and utilities CEOs are not taking the risk of cyberattacks and damaged infrastructure lightly. The risk of a successful cyberattack on critical infrastructure could be severe-damaged power grids could leave cities in the dark, or even put lives at risk. Without traditional utility cybersecurity measures in place, these critical infrastructures are left at risk. As OT and IT networks converge, the “air gap” that OT systems once relied on for cybersecurity is eliminated. This threat is only exacerbated by the modernization of OT networks that control critical infrastructure. In addition, Europe, Australia, and Japan have reported an increase in threats against critical infrastructure. A recent study shows that attacks against energy utilities are among the top three most targeted sectors for cyberattacks in the United States.
