With every turn of the turbine and twist of the drill, energy generation has remained relatively consistent for the last ten decades. Today, catering to the increased energy demands, and changing consumer expectations, the energy industry is evolving its business models and grappling with potential security lapses which could result in outages that can have cascading effects with enormous direct and indirect costs. Varying widely in nature and scope, some security incidents are physical attacks on infrastructure, while others are cyber attacks that target computer systems and networks and others which disrupt or damage national critical infrastructures. There are several strategies that these energy and utilities companies can deploy to secure their IT infrastructure, including physical and perimeter security, as well as greater investment in authentication, device and endpoint security, and monitoring.
