Industry Solutions: For Utilities

Challenge: Securing utility control systems

Organizations that deliver utilities, including electricity, oil, gas, water, and transportation, face a significant challenge protecting the network and control infrastructure used in the delivery of services. Specific challenges faced by utilities include:

• Protecting the environment from an increasing threat of cyber-terrorism and insider threats
  
• Protecting legacy supervisory control & data acquisition (SCADA) systems that inherently lack security controls
  
• Protecting critical infrastructure from an existing and emerging landscape of complex vulnerabilities
  
• Emerging government regulations to better protect essential services, including North American Electric Reliability Corp (NERC) and Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)
