Protecting critical infrastructure and operational technology environments in an increasingly targeted sector.
Energy and utilities operators must comply with NERC CIP standards for bulk electric system cyber security - one of the most prescriptive regulatory frameworks in any industry. ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework provide additional governance structure, while SOC 2 is required by many service providers in the sector.
SCADA systems, industrial control systems (ICS), and operational technology (OT) environments require security approaches that prioritize availability and safety alongside confidentiality.
Controlling access to OT environments and critical infrastructure systems requires strict segmentation, privileged access management, and vendor access governance.
Attacks on energy infrastructure can cascade into community-level disruptions. Threat modelling, incident response planning, and OT-specific security monitoring are essential.
