Cyber Resilience in a Hostile Digital Environment

Geopolitical events have made every nation’s security and its critical energy sector, including power and water utilities, a major cause for concern. In Europe, the energy sector is a prominent target for politically motivated state-sponsored cybercriminals who may, at times, want to reduce energy supply and disrupt the market.

The global threat landscape remains in constant flux, with increasingly sophisticated, financially motivated criminal groups regularly adapting their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to evade defences and hold energy companies to ransom. It’s now common knowledge that ransomware attacks are a serious threat for everyone.

Today, no single entity can work alone to protect its assets, resources, customers and reputation from harm. Governments, the energy sector, cyber security companies and technology developers must adopt a coordinated approach to defend the industry’s key infrastructure.
