Insider Risk Management for Energy and Utilities
Energy companies face unique challenges because they operate critical infrastructure important to national security—systems whose disruption could result in widespread outages, environmental hazards, and even affect the public health.
The energy and utilities industry is dramatically transforming as organizations adopt smart grids, IoT-enabled devices, and cloud-based systems to modernize operations and enhance service delivery. These technologies have unlocked efficiencies in energy distribution, predictive maintenance, and customer experience. With growing regulatory scrutiny to protect operational technology (OT) and ensure system resilience, the industry has a lot to balance, as the interconnectedness of these systems has also significantly expanded the attack surface for cyber threats, including those from the inside.
