Energy and utilities are prime targets for ransomware and state-sponsored attacks
Energy and utility services are among the most critical — and most targeted — industries. A successful cyberattack on energy generation, distribution, pipelines, or water systems can ripple through society, disrupting power, fuel, and water supply.
There has been a major increase in U.S. utility attacks year-over-year.
Ransomware targeting energy and other utilities jumped 80%.
The average breach cost in the industrial sector is $5.56M.
Why is cyber resilience so challenging?
Legacy systems are still running core operations in energy and utilities, but outdated software and unpatched devices create prime entry points for attackers.
IT/OT convergence helps drive efficiency and innovation. But it also poses significant security risks, potentially exposing high-value services to attacks.
Smarter grids bring sensors, meters, and devices online at the edge. But every new connection expands the attack surface.
We’re in the Post-Breach Era
Breaches aren’t a matter of if, but when. No matter how much you invest in security tools, attackers will find a way in.
Modern resilience isn’t about hoping to keep out every threat. It’s about containing them before they spread.
A Zero Trust approach limits the blast radius, stops attacks from spreading, and ensures that a breach doesn’t become a business-stopping disaster.
