Energy Sector Cybersecurity

Energy sector cybersecurity involves protecting vital energy infrastructures, such as power plants, electrical grids, and oil and gas facilities, from cyber threats. As these systems often rely on computer networks, they can become targets for hackers who may seek to disrupt services, steal information, or cause physical damage. Ensuring cybersecurity in this sector means implementing various strategies and technologies—like firewalls, encryption, and regular security assessments—to safeguard sensitive data and maintain the reliability of energy supply. A strong cybersecurity posture helps to protect national security and prevents potential economic and social disruptions arising from cyberattacks.
