Energy and Utilities
Solution Brief
Utilities and energy companies are being forced to consider their carbon footprint and look for greener alternatives to generate their power. This has led to the development of alternate sources of energy such as wind and solar farms that feed their generated power into their national grids. Remote smart devices are used to control this power source.
A major problem facing these companies comes from insider threats. With thousands of engineers who attend these remote sites for maintenance etc, each meter and smart device has a password credential associated with it. Engineers habitually use the same passwords for multiple sites, there is natural turnover of engineers and 30% still have access once they have left the company. These credentials are not managed and if compromised can lead to production outages and lost revenue as well as reputational damage. Its not just insider threats that need to be considered, state sponsored malicious actors are attacking national infrastructure in order to cause economic disruption and instability.
