Critical Infrastructure

Securing Essential Services

Energy, utilities, telecommunications, and transportation organizations require specialized cybersecurity approaches that understand operational technology and the consequences of service disruption.

The challenge

Critical Infrastructure Faces Unique Threats

Convergence of IT and OT

The increasing connection between information technology and operational technology creates new attack surfaces while legacy systems remain in production.

  • Industrial control systems (ICS) with extended lifecycles
  • SCADA systems designed before security considerations
  • Increasing connectivity exposing previously air-gapped systems
  • Limited visibility into OT network activity
  • Safety systems that cannot be easily patched or updated

Nation-State and Sophisticated Threats

Critical infrastructure is a priority target for nation-state actors and sophisticated threat groups.

  • Geopolitical targeting of essential services
  • Supply chain compromise affecting OT vendors
  • Pre-positioned access for future disruption
  • Ransomware operators targeting critical services
  • Insider threats with privileged system access
