Electricity Providers
Electricity providers need to prioritise and systematise cyber security to protect critical infrastructure from disruptive and potentially catastrophic cyber attacks.
Safeguarding the Grid: Cybersecurity Challenges for Electricity Providers
Electricity providers face a significant challenge in protecting their critical infrastructure from sophisticated cyber threats.
Major Target
Critical infrastructure is a high-risk target for many attackers, who seek to exploit essential services for significant impact.
StromVV
In order to ensure adequate protection of installations against cyber threats, the (systematic) fulfilment of the IKT minimum standard is mandatory.
Supply Chain Complexity
Electricity Providers must carefully manage their complex supply chains to ensure business continuity and mitigate risk.
Adapt to Real Threats and Focus on Key Assets
fortControl provides the ability to prepare for specific threats, identify key assets and improve strategic defence based on standardised control sets.
Asset Identification
Systematic, periodic ‘crown jewel’ analysis is critical to identifying key assets and ensuring targeted protection where it is needed most.
Compliance Assessments
An assessment using standardised control sets such as those from the IKT minimum standard ensures compliance and provides direct input for targeted improvement actions.
Supplier Management
Key suppliers should be analysed for their cybersecurity maturity to ensure they meet the required security standards.
